Arthur James (Jim) Stearns
Arthur James (Jim) Stearns of Boise, Idaho born August 28th, 1920 passed from this earth to join the love of his life - Jeanne, on July 15th, 2011. Jim is survived by his four children: Jim (Elaine) of West Des Moines, IA; Jerry (Pat) of Spokane, WA, JoAnne (Gordon Baker) Anderson, Seattle, WA; Joe (Lena) Boise, ID; 13 Grandchildren, 12 Great-grandchildren, three brothers, a sister, second wife of 19 years Doris, and numerous nieces and nephews. Jim was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 42 years Jeanne, his parents, two brothers, a sister, and two grandsons.
The Celebration of Jim’s life will be held Wednesday July 20th, 2011 at Alden Waggoner Funeral Home with a viewing from 1 - 3 P.M. and a memorial service beginning at 3 P.M. Friends and family are invited to meet after the memorial for a reception at the home of Joe & Lena Stearns.
The remarkable nine decades of Jim’s life were a landscape formed from a childhood on a farm as the eldest of 8 children, serving in the United States Navy during World War II, marrying Jeanne Richardson in 1946, providing for and raising their four children, three distinct business careers, and the on-going project that is his cabin in Cascade, ID. All of this created a man who was loyal and dedicated, stubborn and admired, loved and respected!
Jim’s past 34 years were spent as a dedicated Bronco season-ticket-holder. He relished the Broncos’ success and traveled to many of their recent bowl successes, including the celebrated Fiesta Bowl wins. Many people in the Boise area join his family in mourning his death and celebrating his life. Knowing him made us all better human beings.
