James (Jim) Schneeberger passed peacefully on the evening of June 25, 2020 at Redeemer Health Center in Minneapolis. Jim was born in 1939 in Ashland Wisconsin.
He lived in several Wisconsin communities before his family settled in Superior. This is where he met his wife of 58 years, Jan.
Jim retired from Lakehead Pipeline in Superior after 32 years of service. They moved to the Twin Cities area in 1999, settling in Buffalo MN in 2005 to be near their children and grandchildren. Jim’s greatest love was his family. He was involved with the grandchildren’s activities, sports and education.

And, as a member of the Bud Somerville Senior’s team, winning the 1996 Senior Men’s National Championship. Jim was a past president of the Superior Curling Club and was one of many volunteers involved in the construction of the Superior Curling Club. He was also an avid Packer backer.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Lenore Haberman, his father, Charles Schneeberger, his sister Mary Ann and her husband Donald Leach.
