James E. "Dimps" Schramm

James E. “Dimps” Schramm, 68 of Barton passed away March 20, 2025 following a courageous fight against cancer.

As a young man, Jim loved his time spent in little league. Jim was an old soul, he enjoyed watching the old western movies. He was calm and laid back and enjoyed time reading and educating his brain. Jim spent many hours on the bar stool with a drink talking with his friends. He liked being involved with the pool league and playing horseshoes. Jim loved taking trips to Ocean City, camping at Savage and attending Jamboree in the Hills.

Jim died on the first day of spring. Spring is a sign of new life. Jim has now begun his new life in Heaven with his Lord and Savior.
