Son of James Farmer Sr. and Martha Herald Farmer. Survived by his son Steven Farmer, daughter-in-law Tamara Dubinsky, granddaughter Lauren Farmer, brother Jack Farmer, sisters, Kathleen Hartman, Sharon Richardson and Karen Farmer. Preceded in death by his parents, his brother John Farmer, sisters, Dorothy Braun, Ona Mae Gilbert and Evon Herald.
Jim was fiercely independent, a great basketball player in his day and most of all loved his family. He served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Korea. Upon retiring from Velva Sheen, Jim wanted to give back to the community that he loved. He spent the last twenty years of his life as a referee for recreational sports such as soccer, volleyball, softball and basketball. He was fair but maybe made the occasional call for family and friends. To know Jim was to like him.
A memorial gathering will be held Friday, January 23rd, from 3 – 6 pm at the Southgate VFW (6 Electric Ave, Southgate, KY 41071).
