He is survived by his wife Judy, his sister Frankie Folger (Eddie), his children Carie Gueswel (Chris), Tim Gueswel (Lauren), Stacey Gollobith (Roy) Steve Shockley (Kathy) and Scott Shockley. He leaves behind his grandchildren Jenny Shockley, Austin Gollobith (Megan), Kendra Keleher (Jason) and Connor Barrett, as well as a collection of great grandchildren Braxton, Savannah, Cooper, Kayla, Mariah, Cameron, Zach, and (soon Emerson).
He was preceded in death by his parents, a daughter Dianna Barrett and his grandson Brian Shockley.
Jim was born with a wrench in his hand and an accelerator under his foot. He loved anything on wheels that he could make go. He enjoyed taking the RV on the open road, especially a trip to Alaska in 2001.
At Jim's request there will be no services. A celebration of his life for family and friends will be held at a later time.
In lieu of flowers please donate to St Jude's Children Hospital, National Jewish Hospital or a charity of your choice.
Our special thanks to the staff at PVH who took such wonderful care of him during his final journey.
