Jim was born in Port Washington, Wisconsin to the parents of William Prom and Josephine Lesch, where he grew up with his siblings Sylvester, Melvin and Dianne. He attended Port Washington High where he enjoyed running track, graduating in 1957. He married Barbara Shampo (sainted) in 1960 and together they had five children. They are survived by sons Jeff (Lori), Rick (Gaby), Patrick (Melissa), Corey (Michelle), Curt (Patty) and grandchildren Brandon, Makenna, Sabrina, Tyler, Hannah, Grace, Chad and Ashlyn.

Jim enjoyed spending time with family, especially his grandchildren, playing cards, watching baseball, traveling, watching the Packers win, airplanes, and dancing to polka music, which he is now doing 24/7.

A celebration of life ceremony will take place in Wisconsin in the summer of 2023 where all are welcome – details to follow. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to The Dementia Society of America or the charity of your choice.
