Jim proudly served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps and was stationed in Korea during the Korean Conflict. Jim or “Ranger” as he was lovingly known by his co-workers, worked as a pipe fitter for Armstrong World Industries, retiring in 1992. Following retirement Jim’s smiling face could be seen around Quarryville and helping out at Clean Enterprises Car Wash. Jim enjoyed going to the horse races, playing pool, and shuffle board, shooting darts, socializing with friends, and mowing on his riding mower. He was a member of Post #603 American Legion. Jim is survived by his wife of 64 years, Shirley A. (Bleacher) Rineer, and a daughter, Sharon M., wife of Gary Olphin, of Wrightsville, along with a grandson, Gary Olphin, Jr., brother and sister-in-law, Carl and Kathy Eddins, of Lancaster, and several nieces and nephews.
