JAMES JAY GRADISHAR

James J. Gradishar, 47, of Duluth passed away Wednesday, March 17, 2010, in Duluth.

Lee and Ann Gradishar welcomed Jim to the world on Dec. 26, 1962, in Aurora. He was a graduate of Aurora-Hoyt Lakes High School and Dunwoody Institute and a successful businessman in Duluth, until the time of his passing.

Jim would want to be remembered for his love of life. He was an avid hockey fan and loved fishing, his motorcycle, snowmobiling, four-wheeling, the shack and his home on Island Lake in Duluth. Jim loved to have a fun time with family and friends and was never one to back down from a good debate. He was a very generous person with great compassion for those who were down and out.

VISITATION: 10 until the 11 a.m. memorial service Tuesday at Ziemer-Moeglein-Shatava Funeral Home in Aurora with Speaker Todd Albert officiating. Inurnment at Forest Hill Columbarium in Aurora. Following the service at the cemetery there will be a luncheon at the Community Center in Aurora.
