James Arnold Bush 83, of Tellico Village, passed away July 12, 2021 after a difficult battle with congestive heart failure.
Jim was born November 19, 1937 to Charles and Ruth Bush of Port Huron, Michigan. Jim lost his mother when he was just five years old, and he faced many obstacles during his childhood as a result. Overcoming them all, he graduated from Port Huron HS in 1956 and served proudly in the United States Air Force from 1956 to 1960. He and his wife Pat were married in 1963 and had three children. Jim worked as an engineer for Ford Motor for thirty years, and retired to Tellico Village in 1998.
Waiting to greet him as he arrived in heaven were his wife of 32 years Pat Bush, his parents Charles Bush, Ruth Bush and his stepmother Elsie Bush, his brother Don Bush along with other friends and loved ones.
Left to grieve his passing are his partner Elfie Wechselberger, his three children, Sherry (Jim) Konczal, Tammy Goulding (Keith Coultes), Charlie (Jenna) Bush, and his grandchildren Saylor (Maghan) Goulding, Jesse (Heidi) Goulding, Jozie Konczal, Trish Konczal, Aleisha Adams, Ashlea Adams, Courtney Coultes, Kirk Konczal, Kayla Coultes, Kyle Bush and Courtnie Bush.
A proud and humble man, Jim had an incredible work ethic that he passed on to his children and grandchildren. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and friend and he will be greatly missed.
His family will hold an internment service on July 24th at 11:00 a.m. at the Community Church of Tellico Village with a celebration of life to follow at Tellico Village Yacht Club.
