James was born on September 1, 1939, in Little Falls to Michael and Cecelia (Symanietz) Pietrowski. He graduated from Little Falls High School in 1957. He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps from 1958-1964. After being honorably discharged from the Marines, he worked as a machinist in Minneapolis, MN. James then owned and operated Jim and Doug’s 10-50 Club in Corcoran, MN, and then Jim’s Bar in Avon, MN.

He was an avid sports fan, especially the Minnesota Vikings. He enjoyed time with family. James is survived by his sister, Cele Schlumpberger; nieces, Kathy Olson, Charlene Schlumpberger,
Donna (Rick) Lundgren, and Diane (Mike) Drew; nephew, David (Tammy) Schlumpberger; and lifelong friend, Maureen Eggert.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mike Pietrowski and Cecelia (Ralph) Kamphenkel; sister, Marge Mueller; and brothers-in-law, Dick Mueller and LeRoy Schlumpberger.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the caregivers of James for their excellent care, kindness, and laughter that they shared with him.
