He married Leslie Lynn Calvert on July 19, 1964. They celebrated 57 years of marriage. The pride and joy of Jim's life was being Dad to his two sons Dave and Mike. Jim loved his family, everything about their thirteen acres and country cabin called Ho Hum, nature photography, gardening, coin collecting, home projects, tree trimming, snow removal, professional sports, being a "driveway engineer" who repaired anything his neighbors brought that needed fixing, his small group Bible study and the monthly Christian Men's group meetings to support Little Galilee, a Christian Camp and Retreat Center.
Jim is survived by his wife Leslie and two sons David (Janet) Frizzell and Michael Frizzell, his loyal canine companion Finnegan and Granddaughter Coryn (Dylan) Carroll. He is also survived by a brother Dan (Sharon) Frizzell and sisters
Rose (Ken) Keller and Lois (Jim) Miles. Dearly loved nephew and nieces are James (Ashley) Deskins, Jamie (Tim) Iverson. Morgan (TY) Carroll and Mary Deskins. Brother-in law James Deskins Sr. also survives Jim along with two great nieces and great nephew, Brookelyn, Stella and Brantley. Jim was predeceased by his parents and two sisters Mary Lanham and Ruth Deskins.
We would like to thank Dr. Paul Hakes for his outstanding care and patience. He made Jim's wish to die at home possible. We also thank his very professional and kind staff along with Dr. Daniel Lange, Dr. Pankaj Kumar and his caring staff. During Jim's long battle with Cancer he waited impatiently for sunrise every morning. When he saw it a big smile came to his face and he would say, "I'm Alive!" He celebrated and clung to God's gift of life.
Burial will be at Evergreen Memorial Cemetery, Bloomington IL.
