Orange County California Genealogical Society

It is with great sadness that we've learned of the death of our member and colleague Jim Blauer. Jim was killed Friday night after the bicycle he was riding collided with a tow truck on Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa, California. If you’ve ever received a get-well or sympathy card from OCCGS, chances are it was the handwork of our longtime Sincerity Chairperson, Jim Blauer. Jim was featured in a Member Spotlight article in our January OCCGS Newsletter, and we were pleased to learn more about our lifetime member and longtime anonymous donor. God Bless You, Jim you will be missed.
