Born January 1944, James Arthur Messing, one of 16 children, was born in the 
farm country of Minden City, Michigan.  He passed away suddenly October 7, 
2018.  Jim led an interesting life.  He was a Catholic seminary student from 
9th grade through college.  In 1968, he joined the Navy.  He served his country 
on land and sea for almost 25 years.  After that, he was a consultant for Booz 
Allen Hamilton until retirement.  He and his wife, Rosalind retired to the 
Northern Neck of Virginia in 2010.   Jim was always an active member of his 
church and choir.  He was loved by many for his gentle kindness.  In 
retirement, he became a proud oyster gardener, cultivating oysters in the creek 
behind the house.  He loved to cut wood for the fireplace, feed birds, and give 
treats to the neighborhood dogs.  His easy going manner was embraced by family 
and friends alike.

grandchildren, Kaden and Taylor; sisters, Bea, Rosy, Rita, Diane, Evelyn,
