The June 6 issue of the Seattle Times has an obituary for Jim Siburg, who you will recall was in a wheelchair due to MS at our 50th:
Jim Howard Siburg, Jr., who was born to Jim and Betty Siburg in Tacoma, Washington on March 9, 1951, died unexpectedly on May 28, 2021 with family at his side.
On the open water is where Jim found himself most comfortable. Jim enjoyed living, eating in restaurants, and playing in places with views of the water. He had quite the collection of charts, portholes, buoys, and art that focused on the sea and sea life.
Jim was a dedicated state ferry worker who retired in 2011 as Captain after 30 years of service. Prior to working with the state, he was a commercial diver, and served in the United States Coast Guard for 4 years with a tour in Vietnam.
Jim is survived by his wife, Jeanette, and his sons, Wes and Tristan, as well as his granddaughters, Teagan and Avery. Burial will be at Tahoma National Cemetery.
