James "Jim"

Anthony Misuraco

James "Jim" Anthony Misuraco was born September 9, 1946 in St. Louis, MO. He was called to his heavenly home on October 19, 2024, at the age of 78.

Jim was the oldest of 3 children. He attended a Catholic school in St. Louis, MO. Jim would spend his summer breaks with his grandparents, uncles and aunts in the country near Bunker, MO. He left St. Louis at the age of 16.

On August 21, 1965, Jim married Anna Terrill and shared 59 years of marriage. To this union three children were born; Angela, Anthony and Jamie.

Jim started a career as a logger at an early age which he continued all of his life. He loved gigging with his friends and deer hunting day or night. Jim loved teasing his grandchildren with sayings like "show me old rusty" and "lets count your ribs". Over the years he enjoyed having mule teams and horse teams which was how he skidded logs in the early years of his career. Later in life he had teams hooked to wagons which he gave rides to his grandchildren.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Tony and Maude Misuraco, and many aunts and uncles.

Those he left behind are his wife, Anna; his three children, Angela and Floyd Conway of Willow Springs, MO, Anthony and Sammi Misuraco of Bunker, MO, and Jamie and JR Lanham of Bunker, MO; siblings, Vanessa and G.W. Luttrell, and Melanie Henegar; grandchildren, Randi and Jordan Slayton, Rachel and Dakota Mayberry, Lane Misuraco and companion Hunter Wade, Haley and Westin Hawkins, Stacy Misuraco, Landon Lanham, Payden Lanham, Morgan Lanham, and Jackson Lanham; five great-grandchildren, Brooklynn Slayton, Charlie Mayberry, Paisley Mayberry, Indi Hawkins, and Jep Hawkins, and many nieces and nephews.

He was the best Great-Grandpa anyone could get. We will miss him so much. He was loved so much by all of his family. We will miss you Papa Jim. Love, Brooklynn Slayton
