James Edward Ensminger, II, 66, passed March 21, 2006, in Big Bear Lake, Calif. 
He was born in Luling, Texas, in 1939, the eldest of seven children. James was 
a general contractor, owner of Encon Construction, who came to Big Bear from

fondness for Big Bear Lake and made it his home. He built the airport building, 
the Big Bear Inn, now the Best Western, contributed to the city building and 
the PAC, and several additional commercial and residential buildings in the 
region. He served his country in the United States Army, and was a member of 
the Rotary for 15 years, Elks, American Legion and the Moose Club.

He is survived by his wife, Pat of 25 years, who he met and married after 
coming to Big Bear; daughter Brenda Mitchell and grandson Christopher, son 
James E. Ensminger, III and their half brothers and sister, Gelvase J. Anselmi, 
Acton J. Anselmi, and Janelle M. Shur, and stepchildren Michele Flinn, Sandee

survived by those siblings, Jerry D., Ben R., and George S. Ensminger, sisters 
Carol J. Parks, Kathy Fritcher, and Eva Nell Dwyer, and numerous nieces and 
nephews.

Services to celebrate his life will be held on April 22 at the Elks Club in Big
