James (“Jim”) Edwin Baur, 92, of Poolesville, MD passed away on November 24, 2024. Born on December 18, 1931 in Washington, DC he will be remembered as a man of strong faith as well as a devoted and loving husband, father and grandfather.

Jim attended Calvin Coolidge high school in Washington, DC, and then served in the US Army for four years. Upon completing his service, he took a job as a lineman with C&P Telephone Company.
