James Alexander

James P. (Jim) Alexander, 77, passed away July 18, 2019, at his home surrounded by family.

He was born Nov. 6, 1941, in Ridgeville, Indiana, the son of Paul and June (Maxwell) Alexander. He resided in Winchester for the past four years after living his entire life in Ridgeville.

Jim began his working years at Gulley Ford in Winchester in 1959, immediately after high school graduation. He later worked as an electrician, sold automotive electrical test equipment and eventually owned and operated Richmond Battery in Richmond, Indiana, and retired from there after 23 years.

Jim was an avid sportsman and enjoyed hunting, fishing, NASCAR and reloading ammunition and was a member of the Farmland Conservation Club.

He will be loved and remembered by his wife, Sheila. They would have celebrated 57 years of marriage in August. Also surviving are his children Mishelle Jolene (Greg) Mock of Winchester, Michael James (Amy) Alexander of Fargo, North Dakota, and Jarrod Ray (Annette) Alexander of Portland, Indiana; his grandchildren, Brandon (Nicole) Mock of Winchester, Taylor (Sara) Mock of Pendleton, Indiana, Cole Alexander (fiancé: Rachel Marsh) of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Mitchell Alexander of Terre Haute, Indiana. Jim also had two great-grandsons who he enjoyed immensely, Maddox Mock of Winchester and Beckham Mock, Pendleton. Jim is also survived by a sister, Carolyn Evans of Union City, Indiana.

Following Jim’s wishes, he will be cremated and a private memorial service will be held at the convenience of his family.
