Bockover, James Allen was born in Jefferson City, Missouri on October 16, 1939. There are good men, and then there are great men. Jim Bockover defined great! Father, husband and life of the party, James Allen Bockover was many things to many people and became our angel on November 10, 2017. Jim loved life and loved his family even more. He shared a fairytale romance with the love of his life, Marilynn for over 56 years. Together they created a family that you only read about in books with his loving children Heidi Bockover and Gretchen Donaldson along with his son-in-law Chris Donaldson. He will forever be the man, the myth and the legend to his grand-babies, Michaela, Grace, Kyle, Olyvia, Michael and Sofia and be forever missed! Jim was the owner of SPA 801 and entrepreneur of many businesses throughout his life. He had the ability to bring magic to everything and everyone he touched. In lieu of flowers, please raise a glass and toast this amazing man, then hug someone you love!! Wow, what a ride Jim! A celebration of life will be held Saturday, November 25, 2017 at 1pm at Cathedral of Saint Jude the Apostle.
