The family Thomas James Venneau, 75, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to attend their loved ones services at Riverside National Cemetery, it will be our honor to do so.
Thomas James Venneau proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy from January 6, 1960 to January 5, 1966. Jim (his preferred name) was a Field Medic Service Technician during service and served stateside for his entire career. During his career he worked with the Marine Corp as well.
After his service Jim went into the civilian work force as a Director of Sales with multiple companies in Anaheim/Fullerton. Jim also worked for Harley for 10 years as a salesperson which fueled his love for Harley Motorcycles. When Jim was not working he could be found tinkering with his cars, riding his Harley and going fishing.
He is survived by his wife Jane. Jim and Jane raised three sons Tom, Rick and Jim. Jim leaves behind two brothers Mike and Warren as well as 6 grandchildren.
