James Robert Kreutzer Jr.

Jimmy KreutzerJames Robert Kreutzer (Feb 9, 1914 - August 24, 1999) was the first born son of James & Mary Kreutzer, the first of their 12 children.  I believe he lived his entire life in Los Angeles, California. He married Theodora J. Arvin on July 08, 1935.  Together Aunt Teddy & he raised  4 daughters & 1 son: Lorane Helen Kreutzer, Karen Irene Kreutzer, Patricia Rae Kreutzer, Diana Louise Kreutzer,  & James Robert Kreutzer.

Jimmy owned and operated a Union 76 Service Station in Los Angeles, CA. for many years. He was a warm and loving person and very hospitable. His first marriage ended in divorce and he remarried Pauline Miller.  In 2004, his daughter Patti died of cancer (July 11, 1941 - July 23, 2004), and Aunt Teddy died in 2006.  As of 2008, all but Diana still live in the in California. In many ways it is his daughter, Kay Donner (Karen), who is the real historian of our family. It is my hope that she will be able to contribute more accurate information about her father and their family through this blog.
