James (Jim) Melvin Shierman age 76 passed away in Vancouver, WA, Sept. 23,2021. Jim was born Oct. 28, 1944, in Vancouver, WA. He spent his whole life in Vancouver and graduated from Hudson Bay in 1962.
He started working at a young age at the Ezetta lettuce farms, then later at Linton Plywood Mill. Besides his love of Salmon fishing and Deer hunting, Jim loved building anything out of wood. He was always willing to share his knowledge of building to anyone interested. Besides owning his own construction company, Jim was a barber for over 50 yrs with the Yankee Clipper. That was his social outlet.
His loving caring personality along with his great sense of humor, allowed him to be a mentor and friend to all.
Jim is survived by his wife, Phyllis of 51 years; and one granddaughter, Randi. He was preceded in death by his only child, Jim in Nov. 2019. He leaves, brother, John; and sisters, Sandi and Connie; along with two nephews and four nieces.

My husband Paul enjoyed having his hair cut by Jim from the time we moved to Vancouver 50 years ago. Jim's warm personality with his expertise at haircutting kept Paul as a customer until Paul's passing at age 87. My prayers for you, Phyllis. Kris

We were so sad to read about Jim's passing and please know that our prayers and love are with you Phyllis and the whole family. Jim was the kindest and God loving man whom we got to know through our Christianity and of course at the Yankee Clipper! May you find peace and
warmth from our Lord and have comfort until you meet again in Heaven.
