A CELEBRATION OF LIFE


James Randall Gifford (aka Jim, Jimmy) was born on May 22, 1930 in Seattle, Washington to James and Genevieve Gifford. He had five brothers and four sisters, and was raised by his father and older sister Margie after his mother died when he was three years old.
Jim was a West Seattle native, graduating from West Seattle High School and attending Seattle University on a basketball scholarship. On 14, 1951, he married the love of his life, Margie Cooper and they raised six children together.
He worked for many years at the Bethlehem Steel Corporation in West Seattle, where he was the Storeroom Manager. retiring from the steel mill, he worked for over 30 years at Grace Church, retiring this past 2012.
Jim loved sports! He played basketball and baseball at West Seattle High, and went on to play both basketball and baseball at Seattle University, until he left school to support his family. He was on bowling teams with his siblings in West Seattle, and pitched in a local fastpitch softball league for many years. he retired from playing, he enjoyed attending and watching sporting events. He faithfully attended his children's, grandchildren's and even great grandchildren's sporting and school events, always lending his love and support. He was devoted to his family and rarely missed a birthday, graduation or wedding.
Jim enjoyed watching old Westerns, keeping up on the news, arguing politics, teasing his wife and children, West Seattle Monogram Club events, going out to lunch with his wife, children, siblings and friends, and walking with his friends. He also enjoyed annual trips to Disneyland and Cannon Beach with his extended family.
He accepted the Lord as His Savior in 1963, and Jim's love for God was very real, most recently evidenced in his battle with cancer. He handled it with strength, dignity and as always, love and concern for his family.

We love you, and miss you, today and always.

I Give You This One Thought

I give you this one thought to keep
I am with you still,
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone.
I am with you still,
In each new dawn.
