James "Jim" Stepp, 76, of Butler died Friday February 2, 2018 at his son's home in Sewickley surrounded by his family and friends.
Born at Butler Memorial Hospital on Sept. 26, 1941, he was the son of the late Arthur and Mildred Marie (Rivers) Stepp.
Retiring from the military after more than 20 years of service, Jim was the founder and owner of J&D Lawn and Tractor, Inc. in Wexford. He successfully operated J&D for more than 50 years and has left it in the hands of his son, Tyler Stepp.
Anyone that knew Jim, understood that he adored his 134 acre camp in Aleppo, Pa. It was his retreat, his sanctuary and his pride and joy.
While at camp, he cherished watching the annual return of the Purple Martin population to their "high-rise" community and the Humming Birds to their apple tree haven. Most of all, he enjoyed tending to his ever-producing vegetable garden.
Springtime at camp was the most colorful time, with Jim's endless spring bulbs bursting into a vast rainbow of annual blooms.
Once the autumn arrived, camp was transformed into "Jim's Hunting Camp," with an open door to so many family and friends. One of Jim's greatest pleasures included hosting everyone under one roof with the mutual goal of "getting a big buck." He could cook with the best of 'um.
