Rest in Peace James Friedline

James Henry Friedline

p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }

It is with great sadness that we say farewell to our dear friend James Friedline. On Sunday, December 8, 2024, James Henry Friedline passed away. He was the beloved husband of the late Gloria Jean Friedline (née Thomas), the cherished son of the late Paul R. and Margaret M. Friedline, and the devoted father of James Eric Friedline, Theresa Kreller, James Moore, and David Moore. James is survived by 10 grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and many other loving relatives and friends.

p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }

James was a long-time member of STAT (our parent club) and a dedicated contributor to Shore Leave. He served as the head of STAT’s Board of Directors, managed STAT Membership for many years, worked Security at Shore Leave, and offered his support in countless other ways to both groups.

p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }

He also led The Royal Manticoran Navy for several years and was deeply involved in the reenactment community, participating in SCA-like events and mountain man gatherings. Professionally, James was active in the first responder community, reflecting his lifelong commitment to service.

p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }

James left an indelible mark on all of our lives, and his absence will be deeply felt. For details on services, please visit his obituary on the funeral home’s website.
