James Paul Brayfield

October 22, 1937 - September 12, 2020 

James, (Jim), Paul Brayfield, went to join his Father in Heaven on September 12, 2020 after a long struggle with Parkinson’s. Jim was born on October 22, 1937 to parents Ennis Paul and Anna Mae, (Sewell), Brayfield in Cordell, OK. Jim joined the Air Force in 1955. He would later be stationed in Albuquerque, New Mexico where he met the love of his life and future wife, Robin. Robin’s family moved to California in 1961 and Jim soon followed. Jim and Robin were married on June 8, 1963 in Arcadia, CA. The couple moved to  Montclair in 1966. Jim was employed for 30 years in the trucking industry as a Purchasing Supervisor. After retirement, he worked for a few years with United Airlines in customer service. To allow for more time on the golf course, Jim decided to deliver flowers part time for Sherwood Florist. Jim and Robin were avid Square Dancers and made many lifelong friends along the way. Jim loved to go on vacation, and the couple were thrilled every time they were able to go on a cruise. Jim attended Bethany of Montclair and sang in the choir for over 30 years.  His most cherished activity, however, was spending time with his family. Whether it be houseboating, family gatherings, or just staying home watching TV, Jim loved his family.  Jim is survived by his wife Robin of 57 years, his daughters Kelly and her spouse Susano Lopez, and Stacey Comsa, 3 grandchildren, Kyle Comsa, Adam Lopez and Jillian Lopez. A private, family service will be conducted at Oakdale Cemetery. A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks  donations to be made to either the Parkinson Foundation, (Parkinson.org), or the VNA Hospice and Palliative Care of Southern California, (vnasocal.org).
