James Alvah Creelman, Jr.

September 28, 1929 — November 10, 2019

James Alvah Creelman, Jr., was born on September 28, 1929 to James and Julia Creelman, in St. Louis, Missouri, and passed away November 10, 2019 in Duarte, California.

Proudly serving in Europe during the Korean conflict, he rose to the rank of Corporal in the Fifth Army. Jim followed in his father's footsteps, becoming a Realtor and Developer in St. Louis and then worked locally for Century 21 Ludecke. He was an entrepreneur at heart and tried his hand at many opportunities.

Jim also volunteered for over 30 years in Glendora, doing what he loved most, helping others; words used to describe him include, Genuine, Reliable and Friend. Alligator, as we fondly called him, was much loved by everyone and no words can truly describe how grateful we are for the time we shared and the impact he had on every one of us. Jim was the "Big Deal" whose memory will forever be locked in our hearts.
