James A. (Jim) Feaster of Ormond Beach, FL, passed away on Friday, January 8, 2021 at the age of 77.  Jim was born on September 30, 1943  in Fairmont, WV and lived with his family in Fairmont, WV, Elkins, WV, Charleston, WV and Chesterfield, MO.

In his youth, Jim played Little League Baseball, and had the honor of pitching a no- hit game.  He played the saxophone in the Charleston High School Band which allowed him the incredible opportunity to travel to New York City to play and March in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Jim graduated from Charleston High School and attended West Virginia University, Beckley College and University of Missouri, Saint Louis.  After college, Jim followed in his father's footsteps professionally when he began a long career with CONTEL in Warrenton, MO, and then to Apple Valley, CA for a management training program.  His career with CONTEL took him from California to St. Paul, Minnesota, Pinconning, MI, Manassas, VA,  Dallas, TX and Russellville, AK before his retirement in Ormond Beach, FL.

Jim also shared a love of cars with his father and brother, John.  As teenagers, the brothers refurbished a 1952 Ford to be their first car.  Jim also shared with his father and brother, a passion for NASCAR racing and traveled with his family all over the country to attend races. This passion lasted his lifetime. In retirement, he and John had the opportunity to see the United States, traveling the country by  motorcycle, visiting the annual motorcycle festival in Sturgis, South Dakota, reconnecting and visiting childhood homes and  visiting family and  friends.
