Posted by: Jo Aguirre
James Stanley Buchanan, 92, passed away on November 28, 2018.
Jim was born
August 31, 1926 in Lugert, OK to Johnnie and Jennie (Lynn) Buchanan. He was a
graduate of Lone Wolf H.S. He worked as an auto mechanic and oil field worker
for several years prior to serving in the U.S. Army as a technical sergeant from
1950-56. Jim served in the 40th Tank Battalion during the Korean War, and was
stationed in Germany. He and his brother worked in turn to support one another
financially while they each attended university. Jim attended Oklahoma
University in Norman and received a B.S. in Electrical Engineering in 1966. He
worked as an engineer at Tinker Air Force base for 30 years until retirement. In
1974, Jim met Leota Elaine Hurst Pickard at a dancing lesson. They married on
November 2, 1974 and were married for almost 32 years. During his life, he
enjoyed hunting gemstones and creating jewelry. He especially enjoyed his ham
radio and was able to build and fix most anything. He was a great lover of Louis
L’Amour’s western novels and read them numerous times. Though he had no children
of his own, he was a unique, loving, and gentle soul and had a close
relationship with his step-children, nieces and nephews. He was known to take
his camera everywhere and shared his photography with many others. He was a
constant volunteer at First Baptist Church of Bethany and worked as a sound
engineer while his wife sang in the choir.
