James Thomas Farr, age 77, passed away July 8, 2015 at his home in Geneva, MN. James was born on April 1, 1938 in Albert Lea, MN. He has been a lifelong resident of Geneva.
James was a meticulous hard worker, diligently working long hours every day. He worked many years with heavy equipment and owned his own road maintenance business.
