Jim is survived by his loving wife, Altah Swindle; son, Gregory Swindle of Abilene; mother, Roma Lee Swindle of Plainview; sister, Margaret Leigh Dorman of Wheeler; brother, Jerry Dee Swindle of Sweetwater; nieces and nephews who loved him as a father, along with numerous great-nieces and nephews that he adored.

Dear Family,I wish to express my deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one. The pain, the grief, and the feelings of helplessness can seem unbearable. The Bible’s promises give comfort and hope. “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away”.- Revelation 21:4.I hope this will give your family comfort and hope.
