James "Jim" D. Bungard

James Donald Bungard Jr., 83, of Ohiopyle, passed away peacefully on July 11, 2023 in Mon General Hospital Morgantown, WV.

Jim was born October 11, 1939, at Price Hospital in Confluence, PA. He is the son of the late Pauline (Fleming) and James Donald “Don” Bungard.

In addition to his parents, Jim was predeceased by his sister Joyce Thompson.

Jim is survived by brothers Harley of Alaska and Troy (Carolyn) of Ohiopyle; nephews Troy Alan (Jessica) of Penn Craft and Jonathan of Tennessee; nieces Crystal of Pa and Jennifer Thompson (Joel Macritchie) of VA; great nieces Lila Bungard and Lily Macritchie; and great nephews Hunter Bungard and Logan Macritchie.

Jim wore many different hats throughout his working year career from Penn line early on and retiring from US Steel’s Homestead Works as a machinist, and for Water and waste water treatment at Nemacolin Woodlands. While all seeming to having a measure of fondness and memories, the one hat that seemed to carry true passion and love for his fellowman was that of a firefighter. His passion for improving fire service whether at his home station of Ohiopyle (Station 31) or throughout neighboring areas, counties, or districts, Jim continued to learn, instruct, and serve along his brethren, brothers and sisters in this endeavor until he responded to that last and glorious call from the almighty calling him home to rest.

Jim’s family will honor his last wishes that there will be no viewing or services held for him.
Interment will be held privately with the family at Sugar Grove Cemetery.
