James "Jim/JR" Anthony Reimer, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully due to complications of Leukemia on Monday, September 16, 2024, at Aurora BayCare Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Born on June 30, 1945, in Green Bay, Jim was a lifelong resident of the area. His professional life was marked by his employment at Proctor and Gamble for 32 years as an electrician. A dedicated public servant, Jim served in the U.S. Navy for two years on active duty and an additional 20 years in the U.S. Naval Reserves. During his retirement he was a proud member of the Pulaski American Legion Post 337, where he enjoyed serving the community and his fellow veterans.

Jim had a passion for learning and was always eager to share his knowledge with others. He was a committed fan always cheering on the Green Bay Packers and supporting his grandchildren at their activities. He loved the outdoors, especially hunting, fishing, and golfing. His love for his family was unwavering, and he was always there to lend a listening ear or offer a helping hand. He had a strong faith in God and lived it daily. Jim never met anyone he didn't like.

Jim is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, JoAnne Reimer; their sons: Scott Reimer (Stephanie Engelbrerth) and Anthony (Christa) Reimer; son-in-law Brian Tristani; his five grandchildren: Reed and Veda Reimer, Abigail (Nate) Bodart, Anna and Ella Tristani (fiance Nick Klavekoske) his sister, Janice (Jim) Peters; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law: Bill Strojny,  Mary (Jim) DeFrance, David (Margaret) Schuh, Martin (Joann) Schuh, Linda (Jim) Krouse, Roger Schuh, Bonnie (Earl) Spencer, and Joyce (Ollie) Kabara.
