James Arthur "Jim" Blood of Golden Valley, MN passed away peacefully on May 24, 2022, at age 89. He is preceded in death by his parents, Esther and James McKaig Blood; sister, Lois Duffield. Survived by wife, Donna; four children, Lora (Joe), David, Charlene (Mark) and Jim (Kalee); 9 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

A Joliet native, Jim attended A.O. Marshall Grade School where, at age 9, he began his love affair with the baritone. He played in the Joliet Township HS bands, both as a high school and junior college student. His studies would take him to U of IL where he played in the concert and marching bands, as well as the American Legion Band, Joliet Post, during summer breaks. Jim graduated college in 1955 with a BA in Electrical Engineering. While attending college, Jim met Donna Frojd, also of Joliet, and were married upon graduation. They moved to Mishawaka, Indiana whereJim worked for Bendix Corp until a move in 1964 took the family to Mpls MN; his retirement in 1990.

Rick was born in Joliet, Illinois on March 24th, 1955. He graduated from Joliet Central High School as an avid member of the Marching Band and Golf Team. Rick married the love of his life, Judy, after both graduating college in Illinois. They were married for over 42 wonderful years, which encompassed hundreds of adorable Thursday date nights.

Jim's love of music would be the connecting thread throughout his life- Jim & Donna first meeting at a Luther League choir rehearsal at Bethlehem Lutheran. While the couple together sang in many choirs, itwas through his horn playing that gave Jim his life's purpose. Striking up a march for a pre-k class, or accompanying a sing-a-long on a stroke recovery ward were a few of his solo performances. As an ensemble member, Jim found fellowship in creating something special that was bigger than the individual parts. At the time of his death, Jim was on the rosters of the Minnesota Symphonic Winds, Lake Wobegon Brass Band, Senior ELCA Synod Band, Fridley City Band, and Robbinsdale City Band. Jim encouraged all tosing or play an instrument, especially his kids and grandkids. Playing together at a family gathering or a community event such as Tuba Christmas was a joy,and sharing a mutual appreciation of a Doc Severinsen concert or Drum Beauty competition was a delight.

The celebration honoring Jim is set for Wednesday, Jun 1, 11 am at Calvary Lutheran of Golden Valley MN with visitation from 10-11 am and lunch reception; the service viewable live at events.calvary.org. In lieu of flowers, suggested donations to the Lake Wobegon Brass Band lwbb.org, MN Symphonic Winds mswind.org or your favorite band. Washburn-McReavy.com HillsideChapel 612-781-1999
