Jim was born July 7, 1946 in Indiana. He was the son of the late Robert H. and Ruth I. (Winsheimer) Nehrig.
He was a member of Bethel Presbyterian Church in Center Township. Jim was especially proud of his thirty-year perfect Sunday school attendance as a youth and young adult. He was a collector of ceramic dogs, with over 1,000 dogs in his collection. Following graduation from Homer Center High School, Jim spent his entire life on the family farm, caring for the animals and performing other farm chores.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Fredrick (Freddie); and a brother-in-law, William McGee.
The family would like to thank his Rose Haven family for the love and care they gave Jim during the last five months.
