James Franklin Farrell

James Franklin Farrell passed away June 27th, 2011 around 7am in Shreveport, LA at the
home of his daughter Mischa Farrell. "Jim" was a beloved father, husband and friend.
Anyone that encountered him could not help but be touched by his cheerful demeanor. Jim
always had time to talk and listen to anyone and everyone. Even in sickness, he had the
best attitude and was simply happy, optimistic, and seemed to care more about whomever
he was talking to than himself. Before retirement, he worked as a Dental Technician in
the basement of his home with his wife Bobbie. The kids could always visit any time. He
was passionate about skiing, singing, family and friends. He was a member of the Tri City
Community Concert Association, Community Choir and Borger Noon Lions Club. An original
spirit with a ready smile and a Kind heart, he was athletic, adventuresome, funny and
fiercely loyal to his family, friends and his community.
Born to Christina and Jim Farrell in Los Angeles, CA he moved to Borger, TX at the age
of 16 where he met his soul mate and best friend Bobbie Farrell. Their partnership of 60
years fostered three children and many lovely friends. Bobbie preceded Jim in death on
Thanksgiving Day 2010.
Jim's children, Michal Farrell, Mitchell Farrell and Mischa Farrell survive him as do his
grandchildren Christy Farrell, Jay Farrell, MacKenzie Bubel, Morgan Bubel and great
grandchild Leah Farrell. He leaves a true sense of gentleness, kindness and love in his
wake. We will miss him.
Funeral services will be at 10:00AM, Friday, July 1, 2011 at the First Presbyterian Church in
Borger, TX. Burial will follow at Highland Park Cemetery in Borger, TX.
