Jim Grim, age 62, of Elkton, MD passed away peacefully on October 13, 2017 surrounded by his loving family. Born on June 1, 1955 in Annapolis, MD he was the son of Robert Grim and the late Margaret (Roper) Grim.
Jim was a U.S. Navy Vietnam War veteran, serving from March 1974 through March 1978 as an Aviation Electrician. During his service, he achieved both Sailor of the Month and Sailor of the Base awards. After Jim’s service, he was employed by Dassault Falcon Jet (formerly Atlantic Aviation) from September 1979 until his passing, as an Aviation Electrician. Jim loved being outdoors. Some of his favorite outdoor activities were attending car shows, maintaining his perfect lawn and spending time at his pool. Jim’s most cherished time was spent with his family and grandchildren, attending all of their sports games and activities. An outgoing jokester who was truly a jack-of-all-trades, Jim will be remembered as an incredibly honest and loving man that was the best Poppop ever to his three grandchildren.
Jim is survived by his wife of 36 years, Sophia Grim; daughters: Stephanie Grim (Michelle), Stacy Argoe (Jason), and Emily Grim (Ty); grandchildren: Jackson and Lily Argoe, and Amya Grim; father, Robert Grim (Cathy); brothers: Robert Grim (Judy), and Kenneth Grim; sister, Margaret (Peggy) Kimes (Ralph); and numerous other friends and family.

I was one of Jims QC Inspectors at Dassault, Jim was loved by everybody, he was kind, funny, and a perfectionist in his work. He loved his family so much, and would tell me how proud he was of them. Jim also had a serious side to him, he has personally helped me in a couple of situations. Jim knew about life. I never saw him angry the five years that I worked around him. He made my day when he paged me to come to the battery shop for a QC buyoff. When the word of Jims passing got around, there were many hearts that were broken that day. God Bless you. Myself, and many others will never forget you. You definitely made an impact on a lot of people.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Jim was a great neighbor of ours for 31 years. He always had a smile on his face. He could light up a room talking about his grandkids. My heart breaks for Sophia and the family for the loss of a great husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and to the rest of us who lost a good friend. Every time I hear a lawn mower I will think of Jim Grim. ( We all know he had the perfect lawn) Rest in peace Jim . You will be missed by all. Thoughts and prayers for Sophia and family.

Jim was a unique and special man. Always smiling and laughing. He reminded me a lot of my own dad in that way, so I'd make sure to stop by and talk with him every few days. It didn't matter if it was work related, personal problems, family, or just life in general he was always engaging and seemed to sincerely care. I really enjoyed talking to him during football season because you could feel his pride in his grandson and the family he was blessed with. Every conversation came back around to his wife, children, and grandchildren. Sometimes, an hour or two would pass before I realized it. I grieve with the family and pray for your comfort.
