James W. Laumbattus, 86, born May 2, 1928, passed away June 23, 2014, in San Clemente, Calif., while vacationing at the home of his daughter Rochelle Kunkelmann to attend his grandson Kevin's high school graduation.
Jim was a retired line supervisor at General Motors, a member of St. Johns in New Athens, Ill., and a member of St. Peters in Lenzburg, Ill.
