| Published by Yuma Sun on Dec. 21, 2022 - Yuma, Arizona - James L. Teeters, Sr. (Jim) passed away on December 14, 2022, at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth Virginia. Jim was born to Francis and Patricia Marie Teeters on July 8,1939 in Trenton Nebraska. Jim graduated from Culbertson NE high school in 1958 and married his high school sweetheart, Shirley Binderup. They celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary in August of 2022. Jim is survived by his wife, daughter Jamey Lovin of Richmond VA and son James Eason (Randy) of Norfolk VA. He is also survived by his beloved grandsons Isaac and Jacob Lovin of Norfolk, VA and sister Sally Canion (Ken) of Friendswood TX. He was preceded in death by his parents, siblings, Arda Krepcik, Ida Mae Ekberg, Marvin Teeters, Frances Saska, and son-in-law, James W. Lovin, Jr. Jim retired from the US Navy after serving for 21 years in the Aviation Community as an ATC. Shirley, Jim, and children were stationed in numerous ports in the US and overseas. Their favorite port was a tour at Naval Station Midway Island. Jim's second career was owner and manager of an electronics service company, Atlantic Viewtronics Service Company in Virginia Beach, VA. Jim was active in the Virginia Electronics Association and served as a Regional Director of the National Electronics Service Dealers Association, where he was inducted into the NESDA Hall of Fame. In 2000 he retired from all work and he and his grandsons took to the road by bus and train visiting relatives across the USA. In 2004 Jim and Shirley chose Yuma, AZ as their permanent retirement home where they could enjoy life in a much warmer climate and where Jim could pursue his number one hobby, fishing. The joy of Jim's life was spending time at the home he and nephew Steve Saska built in San Felipe, BC, Mexico and the time he spent aboard his boat, fishing with Steve on the Sea of Cortez. In Mexico he and Shirley were adopted by and enjoyed a loving relationship with the families of Jose and Isabel Meza, Angel and Matilda Rivera in San Felipe, and the family of Chapo and Patty Solis in Los Algodones, BC, MX. Celebration of Jim's life will occur at a later date. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Trinity United Methodist Church Yuma, Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, or ASPCA.
