Obituary

Jim Pieper
Oct. 6, 1947 - June 17, 1989
Jim left us suddenly on Saturday morning, June 17, after bravely and angrily fighting AIDS-related illnesses for over a year. The end was peaceful and he was lovingly for at home by his mother, his lover and his beloved dogs and cats.

Jim was born in San Francisco and attended school in Marin County. He lived in San Francisco after graduating from high school until May, when he moved to the new home he had just bought in his old neighborhood in Fairfax, Cal.

Jim was a twenty-year employee of Qantas Airlines and a member of the Foggy City Dancers.

Christmas was Jim's favorite tome, and he will be remembered for his lavish Christmas decorations and for making each of us feel like Babes in Toyland for a while each year.

We will miss Jim's bubbly spirit, loud laughter and sharp wit. Surviving are his lover, Tom Gregory; his mother, Marguerite; his brother Bill and sister-in-law Sandy; and many friends, especially Lynn and Michael.

A memorial celebration will be held later. Call Tom at 454-7275 for information. Contributions may be sent to the Names Project.[2]
