James "Jim" Joseph Reignier

James (Jim) Joseph Reignier, 93, passed away on Sunday, July 7, 2024 at the Jack & Engrid Meng Hospice Residence.  Jim was born on October 30,1930 , son of the late Ben and Elinor (Johnson) Reignier.  He graduated from West High School with the class of 1948. On March 31, 1951, he married his high school sweetheart, Barbara Radosevich.  Together they raised three children: Steven, Susan, and Scott, all of whom preceded him in death.

Jim served his country faithfully during the Korean conflict with the U.S. Army from 1951 to 1953.  He then started a life-long career in sales with Morley Murphy.  

Jim enjoyed many travels with his wife, Barb, including Rome, Portugal & Gulf Shores.  He loved playing cards, bingo, fishing and above all, making his family and friends smile with his countess jokes and jovial nature.  While living at Emerald Bay Retirement Community, Jim gave out hundreds of teddy bears to visiting children and residents as he loved to make people happy.  Jim was an avid Packer and Brewer fan and enjoyed sweets.

Jim’s survivors include: sister in-laws, Sandy Renard (Green Bay), Pat Reignier (Saek Falls, MN) and Shirley Lattin (Corrales N. Mexico).  He is further survived by brother in-law, Karl (Jeanne) Radosevich.  He will be missed dearly by his nieces and nephews as well as grand-nieces and nephews.

Jim’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to special friends, Sue and Terry Thayse for their loving friendship, care & compassion.  The family would also like to express sincere gratitude to the staff at Emerald Bay Retirement Community-you made him part of your family.  A special thanks to Caiden, his nurse with Moments Hospice.
