Jim married Tina Sue Seegren on January 18, 1991 at the Tulsa County Courthouse in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He belonged to the Native American Art Association and was a member of the National Rifle Association. Jennifer says, My favorite memory of my dad was him coming into my room to wake me up. He would always run me on the back and say “oh happy day!” – At holidays, we would always wait for my grandfather (his father) to get home from his job as a security guard at a bank. When Grandpa would get home, my dad would always say “Here comes the law!” – Along the lines of “the law”, when I was in high school, I was in a play called “The Clumsy Custard” and my only line was “but that’s the law!” He repeated that line many times throughout the years. I always knew he was proud of me, even for that small line. – My dad didn’t always know how to express his feelings, but he had a spark in his eye and a certain smile that he would give you, and you would understand.Jim will be missed by his doting, loving wife, Tina Stewart; children, Jennifer Goldman and husband Chris, Tammy Wilsdorf, Shauna Johnson and husband Rick, Ivan Blair, and Russell Blair and wife Meagan; grandson, Seth Wilsdorf,who is serving our country in the Navy (as Jim was very proud to tell everyone); 11 other grandchildren; mother Wilma Stewart; brother Ronnie Stewart and wife Joyce; nieces and nephew: Angela Stewart, Jacob Stewart, and Andrea Hurst; and 2 grandnieces.
