Jim Wonsick

[Jim Sheppard]

I received sad news from Dick Guthrie who wrote:

"Fellers:

I have just talked with Sharon Wonsick. She gave me the following information:

Jim went to the hospital on Tuesday with chest pains. They first put a stent inside the stent he received 5 years ago. Apparently, he then suffered a severe infection, with high temperatures. Antibiotics did nothing to control it. He passed away Friday night.

Jim’s remains are at:
Dwayne Spence Funeral Home
650 Waterloo St.
Canal Winchester, OH 43110

On Wednesday, there will be visitation there from 1400-1600 and from 1800-2000.
On Thursday there is a service there at 1100, before the interment."

I am planning on driving out for Wednesday night and Thursday.
