James “Jim” R. Maden
SOLON – James “Jim” R. Maden, 86, passed away Aug. 15, 2022, at his home in Solon. He was born Dec. 30, 1935, in Brockton, Massachusetts.
He was employed as a truck driver and was a member of the Teamster’s Union. He was a member of the Samoset Rod and Gun Club and enjoyed playing cribbage, going snowmobiling, hunting, gardening and Friday night happy hour at the Solon Hotel (he never missed them). He was an avid bird watcher and had dozens of hummingbird feeders. He built bird houses and anything else in general. For Jim, there was nothing a few screws, duct tape, some wood and/or a can of spray paint would not fix.
