James Michael Halpin 77 years a lifelong resident of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin and the surrounding area passed away to eternal life on Sunday, May 3, 2020. Jim was born February 15, 1943 in Elkhorn, WI son of the late James C. and Theresa (Schaeffer) Halpin. Jim was fascinated by everything, but his loves were the railroad and area postcards. After retiring as an auto worker from Chrysler, his perfect day was driving where the road took him and talking to whoever was on the way. The Lord Blessed him with an abundance of days like this plus a wonderful blended family. Jim touched many people with his smile and the twinkle in his blue eyes. James is survived by his wife Judy (nee: Stafford) Halpin, he was the loving father of Jeffery (Maria) Halpin, Sheila Eckliff and Jacob Halpin; stepchildren Alys (Andy) Adams and Paige (Steve) Sawar.
