Jim was born at the family home in the Town of Ovid, a son of the late Frank and Cecil (Hilkert) Delong.

(Scott) Delong Whitmore of Raleigh, NC; 5 granddaughters, 5 grandsons; his siblings, Winfield, Frank and Guy Delong and Blanche Christiansen, Bernice Coleman, Bertha Ferris and Frances Steen and their families; the mother of his children, Dawn Moore. Jim was preceded in death by his siblings, Marcus and Clyde Delong and Beatrice Rosecrans.
