James B. Spaulding, born March 13, 1934, passed away Sunday, June 14th at the age of 81. Born in Kenosha, WI, he lived most of his life in Racine, WI before retiring with wife Jane to San Antonio, TX. James served in the United States Army and spoke fondly of his experiences while stationed in Germany. He had a passion for fishing and was so proud to have once caught a trophy salmon during the annual Salmon-a-Rama tournament. He loved the art of the deal, continuing his hobby of flea market sales through retirement.

He is survived by his wife Jane (Quintanilla), daughters and in-laws Anna and Peter Spaulding, Rachel Spaulding and Cheryl Rechner, grandchildren Morgan, Boyd and Maris Spaulding as well as many nieces and nephews.
