      Jim was born Aug. 17, 1938, in Granada, Minn., to Wilbur and Velva (Anderson) Clear. The family moved frequently during his childhood, so he attended several schools.

He spent most of his life as a truck driver, employed by many different companies over the years, before becoming an owner-operator later in his career.

      He was preceded in death by his son, Jimmy; his parents; and two brothers, Ben and John.
