James "Jim" Neal Conine Jr. '63 |
Jim Conine passed away 5/21/2023, in Las Cruces, New Mexico with his wife Cynthia by his side. After graduation from Jesuit Dallas, Jim attended the University of Texas at Arlington where he played basketball, was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and earned a degree in Accounting. He worked for RGIS in Texas, New Mexico and Colorado until he left the corporate world and moved to Las Cruces. There he kept busy with their chili pepper farm and was the owner/operator of a local carpet cleaning business. Jim's favorite memory at Jesuit was playing basketball on the Jesuit State Championship team in '62. His teammates are amongst his best friends. Jim loved to have fun and he told of a time when he and his buddies carried a VW Bug and left it at the top of the steps at Jesuit. (Those reading this know who you are!) Jim will be truly missed by the love of his life, Cynthia, their children, and grandchildren as well as his siblings, extended family and friends. |
