He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Ida Harpe. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, of 44 years, Jan Harpe; children, Steve and Krystine Harpe, Kim and Ernesto Rodriguez; grandchildren, Isabelle, Gabby, Leo, Niko, and James; sister, Dody and Bill Evans; brothers-in-law and sister-in-law, Mike and Mary Ann Nini, Mark and Carol Nini, Mary Anne and Rob Sulkey; and many nieces and nephews.

We first met Jim and his wife when we moved to the neighborhood and they would walk by our house all the time. They both always had a smile and a were so friendly. Jim will always be remembered fondly by us. A wonderful man.
