James Victor was born October 14, 1923 in the Tabor community to James A. and Bessie (Svitak) Sindelar. He was raised on the family farm and continued to farm that land with his son and never fully retired until December of 2013 when he moved to Parkview Nursing Home in Dodge. Jim died at Parkview on Sunday, September 13, 2015.
His early education was in a country school and in 1942 he graduated from Howells High School. On September 22, 1948 he married Agnes Kudera at Holy Trinity Catholic Church Heun.
