| The White Mountain Independent, Show Low, Arizona ~ 06/03/2016 James Delbert Finch Sr., 85, died Friday, May 27, 2016, in Eagar. He was born April 6, 1931, in Bloomfield, N.M., the son of William Clyde Sr. and Pearl Norton Finch. Jim was a building contractor. He was not large in stature but was a giant among men for his honesty, integrity and kindness. In multiple ways he served his community and church, all of his 85 years; fighting for things he believed in and against things that were wrong. His favorite colors were green grass and fat cows. He loved to hunt, fish, camp, ride horses and go for rides with his wife and family in the outdoors; raise gardens, pastures and cows. He greatly loved his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was a complete man but was not whole without his wife, Glenda. There is no one big enough to fill his size 7 shoes. Jim is survived by his wife, Glenda Finch of Eagar; sons James Delbert Finch Jr.; Michael Lloyd Finch Sr.; Gary Allen Finch all of Eagar; daughters Tammy Finch of Mesa; Becky Finch-Bacon of Denver, Colo.; brothers Vurrell Finch, Tommy Finch, Stanley Finch, Arthur Finch and Glenn Finch; sisters Orpha Mae Bigelow, Clydene Rammelsberg, Ellen Fay Taylor and Bertha Jean Johnson; 23 grandchildren and 56 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers William Clyde Finch Jr., Rulon C. Finch, Daniel Cliff Finch; and sister Betty Josephine MacDonald. Funeral services were held Wednesday, June 1, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Eagar Stake Center. Interment followed the services at the Eagar Cemetery.
