James J. Van Stralen passed away suddenly on Jan. 13, 2018 at the age of 89. He was born October 9, 1928 to Albert and Marie (Van Elzen) Van Stralen and grew up in Kimberly WI. He married Marion Vandenberg on August 18, 1951 and they lived in Appleton where they raised their six children. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and was honorably discharged in 1953. He was employed by the U.S. Postal Service for 23 years and retired in 1983. He built a house in Styles WI and relocated there in 1987. Jim and Marion moved to Spokane, WA in 1997 to live near their three daughters and two sons. Jim was mechanically inclined and could fix most anything. His real passion was building grandfather clocks and wall clocks. He also repaired clocks that hadn't run in years for many people in the Fox Valley area. He was especially interested in the history of US wars. He enjoyed his family and friends very much and was always ready for a good conversation. He will be remembered by people who knew him as always having a smile. Jim is survived by his sons Jim (Judy) Van Stralen, Appleton; Stuart (Sandi) Van Stralen, Spokane, WA; daughters Kay Woodworth, Moses Lake, WA and Lois Meyer, Spokane, WA; twelve grandchildren and five great grandchildren; his brother Ken (Marge)Van Stralen, Darboy; two sisters Joyce (Jim) Ebben), Appleton, and Gloria (Jack) Williamson, Freedom. He was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years Marion, a daughter, Ann; a son, Russell; his parents, Albert and Marie; three sisters: Alice Meier, Rita Ciha, Marilyn Huth and a brother Ray Van Stralen. At his request, a service will not be held. Please remember him in your own special way. He will be interred with his wife Marion at St John Vianney Catholic Church, Spokane Valley, WA at a later date. God bless you Dad, may you rest in peace.
