James (Jim) Grimes Dad, Grandpa, Husband, and Friend
James Carlyle Grimes was born on March 27, 1942 in Stockton, California to Harold and Harriet Grimes. Jim was with his family when he went home to be with the Lord on November 16, 2019. Jim was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed fishing, camping, and traveling on new adventures with his best friend and wife of 56 years, Thelma Grimes. Jim’s kids, Tammy Grimes and Russell Taylor-Grimes, and daughter-in-law Jennifer, will miss sharing time listening to his many stories around the campfire. Kellee Grimes will miss her grandpa’s smiles, annual camping trips, hikes, sleepovers, and Mickey Mouse pancakes. Jim is also survived by his brothers Richard Grimes, Robert Grimes, and their wives Sandy and Lita, respectively. Jim was preceded in death by his parents Harold and Harriet Grimes.
