About the same thing, I guess. Fighting a cold right now.
James Havard "Jim" Hoskinson Sr.
Obituary
HOSKINSON, James Havard Sr. "Jim" 73, of Clearwater, passed away suddenly of natural causes. Jim was originally from Salem, OH, where he raised a large family and plied his trade as an auto body technician. He moved to Clearwater 25 years ago to retire. He was a tinkerer and an inventor and had many of his inventions patented for use in the auto body trade. He even made his own dentures. He proudly served as a PFC in the Marine Corps during the Korean War era. He had a great love of dancing and music and had an intimate knowledge of Napster. He leaves his loving companion Linda Andrews and a huge group of friends, "the walking wounded" who will remember their kindly Godfather for his sense of humor and his smiling disposition. He is predeceased by his loving wife, Virginia Eagan Hoskinson, his beloved mother, Mildred Brown Blood, a daughter, Debby Dawn Bates, as well as his father, Thomas Hoskinson. He survived by his brothers, Ed (Darla) Blood, Phillip (Suzanne) Blood and his stepfather, Harold "Bompi" Blood; his great friend and children's mother, Catherine Hoskinson; his sons and daughters, James (Mary) Hoskinson, Joni (Jim) Lovato, Weslee (Cheryl) Hoskinson, Georgia Pasha, Travis Hoskinson, Heathyr (Tim) Everson; 13 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. We will miss him greatly but know he has joined Virginia for a dance in Paradise.
