Columbia - James G. “Jim” Seagle, Sr., 70, entered into his eternal rest October 26, 2009. He was born in Pleasant Garden, NC and was the son of the late William L. and Ruby K. Seagle.
He was a loving and devoted husband to his wife of 52 years, Georgia H. Seagle, and father to his beautiful children, Debra Poorman (Steve), Renee LaCross (Alan deceased), James G. Seagle Jr. (Teresa), and Jeff Seagle, and was predeceased by his loving daughter Rosa Lynn Freitag. His pride and joy includes 13 terrific grandchildren and 3 adorable great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters Sylvia Ann Pegram and Brenda Joyce Peavy, both of Gaston, S.C., and brother Willard Lee Seagle (Jean) of Stantonsburg, N.C.
Jim retired from the Navy in 1976 after spending three tours in Vietnam as an aerial photographer with the HS-8 Helicopter Squadron based on the carrier USS Bennington CVS-20. After retiring from Pontiac Foods in 1998, he loved to play golf and spend time with his family. He was revered by his children and grandchildren, and has left a hole that can never be filled.
