Jimmie Dean Kindschuh was born on March 10, 1938 to John and Dorothy (Groene) Kindschuh in West Point.  He was raised on the family farm south of West Point and graduated from West Point Public High School in 1955 at the age of 16.  Jim joined the United States Navy in 1956 and served aboard the USS Grand Canyon (AD-28) as a pipefitter.  He made 2 long cruises, 1 to northern Europe and 1 to the Mediterranean.  On July 2, 1957, Jim married his high school sweetheart, Mary Lou Priebnow, at Grace Lutheran Church in West Point.  The couple moved to Fall River, MA where Jim was stationed.  After being honorably discharged in 1959, Jim and Mary Lou returned to West Point.  Jim and his 3 brothers owned and operated Kindschuh Brothers service station where Jim worked for 55 years, retiring in 2014.

Some favorite adventures were fishing in Canada and Minnesota and hunting in Western Nebraska.  As a couple, Jim and Mary Lou loved to spend time with friends, attend Husker football games, play bridge, and sail on cruises.  A trip to Alaska was one of their most cherished memories.
