James "Jim" Maurice West Jr., Human Resource Director for ION Geophysical, passed away on 
Monday, Nov. 7, 2011.

Visitation will be from 9 to 11 a.m. today followed by a Mass and reception at Jacob Schoen 
and Son Funeral Home, 3827 Canal St. in New Orleans.

Jim is survived by his beloved wife, Dorothy Martino West; his daughter, Frances Salinas 
(Carlos); sisters, Angela Robichaux (Tony), Rebecca Robichaux (Greg); and brother, Will 
Moore (Beth). Surrounded by a host of nieces and nephews that are too numerous to list, Jim 
also had many god children who were very dear to him. Completing Jim's family was "da boys" 
as he lovingly referred to Simon, Felix and Moses.

He was preceded in death by his parents, James M. West Sr., and Marilyn Chapman Moore 
(William).

Jim was born in Euclid, Ohio, and spent his childhood and youth in both Houma and New 
Orleans. He received his bachelor's degree in psychology from Loyola University, New 
Orleans, and his master of social work degree from Southern University at New Orleans. 
Throughout his life, Jim's commitment to his community blended well with his passion for 
social justice and his love for south Louisiana. Jim spent seven wonderful years in 
Atlanta, where he also embraced the beauty of the N. Georgia Mountains. In addition, Jim's 
commitment to community was evident in his service as both an advisor in the Order of 
DeMolay in Georgia and as the Executive Officer of the DeMolay in the jurisdiction of 
Louisiana. In the final leg of Jim's human journey, he sought to provide spiritual guidance 
to his community and earned his doctorate of divinity from St. Waldobo University and then 
served as both priest and bishop in the North American Old Catholic Church.

On Nov. 7, 2011, at exactly 2:13 am, Jim's final journey ended when he no doubt heard the 
words of the father: "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased".

In Jim's memory, the family requests that contributions be made to the North American Old 
Catholic Church, P.O. Box 48211, Washington, DC 20002.
