James G. Baxter Jr., 72 of Ely, dies

memorial celebration of Jim's life will be Friday, March 3 at Washington 

Auditorium in Ely at 6 p.m. for visiting, with services at 7 p.m. In lieu

  Jim was born in the Twin Cities on Nov. 6, 1933 to Rev. James and Helen 

Baxter. He graduated from St. Cloud State University in the 1950s. In 

1992, Jim retired from his teaching career, but continued coaching high 

school hockey through 2006 for over 50 years of coaching. He was a part 

of young people's lives at Minnehaha Academy, West, Washburn and 

Southwest High Schools in Minneapolis and Ely High School in Ely. He 

moved to Ely in 1995 full time and loved his log cabin on the lake, which 

he built in the late 1960s. Jim touched many lives everywhere, loved 

people and went the extra mile to help those who needed him. His greatest 

desire was to have everyone spend eternity with him and his Savior, Jesus 

Christ.

Sherri (Terry) Miller of Faribault; Laurie (Joe) Juranitch of St. Louis 

Park; grandchildren: April and Stephanie Cooper, Michelle & Noah Miller;
