| According to best
information, Jim Wannall Jr. lived in Virginia Beach, VA, where he
worked as a theater manager for 15 years. There is also information
that Jim was once employed as a host for a local children's television
program. In 1975 Jim quit the theater management business and went to work
selling carpets for Sears. He left Sears after three or four years
and sold carpets for Montgomery Ward, where he worked until he died in
1984. According to his son Nathan, Jim died of a heart attack, however
this occurred about a year after the death of his second wife, and it is
possible that Jim, who had diabetes, did not take proper care of himself
during that period.
Note: In the
second marriage, a third son, Alvin Jaiser, was the natural offspring of
Elizabeth. Alvin, who died on January 19, 1984, was never adopted
by Jim and did not carry the Wannall name as previously reported in Wannall.com.
In February, 2004,
we received and posted a series of family photographs from one of Jim's
nieces. You can view them by clicking on the "Gallery Links" below.
