James F. Houser, 82, of Tyrone, passed away Thursday. He was born in Philipsburg, a son of the late Glenn E. Sr. and Edythe (Cherry) Houser.
On May 23, 1966, in Tyrone, he married Judy L. Waite, who preceded him in death on Jan. 25, 2023.
He is survived by three daughters: LeeAnn (Dave) Pannebaker and Betty Jo Houser, both of Tyrone, and Lori Houser of Smithmill; three grandsons: Courtland and Colby Pannebaker and Mason Phillips; six siblings: Shirley Beckwith, Raymond "Cookie," Patricia, Herbert, David and Charles (Bonnie) Houser.
He was also preceded in death by six siblings: Richard, Glenn Jr., Constance Lahr, William, Howard and baby John.
Jim was a 1962 graduate of Tyrone High School and attended trade school, where he studied to be a plumber. He applied those skills throughout his 23 years of service at Penn State University before retiring in 2005.
He enjoyed hunting, farming on the homestead and tinkering with appliances. He loved spending time with his family -- especially attending his grandsons' sporting events.
Friends will be received from 5 until the 7 p.m. remembrance service for James F. Houser on Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2025, at Feller Memorial Home, Tyrone, with Paul Politza officiating. Private interment will be made at Bald Eagle Cemetery.
