Fly High Sandskier

James was a man of pride, loved his family, and help anyone out if they needed it and if he could. He was married to 

Sandra Haller ( Shank) for over 30 years before she passed, she was the love of his life. They are now together on the beach watching the sunsets, their favorite place to be. James was a hard working man he worked for his father until his dad retired, from there he worked at the Washington Rock Quarries from 1991 to retirement of 2018. James loved flying kites at Lincoln City Oregon the favorite vacation spot for him and his family. He loved all the attention he got from strangers on the beach when he would fly his kites, they were amazed how his kites would drag him down the beach, this is how he got the nickname SANDSKIER. He will forever be missed, always loved, and never forgotten. He is also in heaven with his mom Annabelle Haller and dad George Haller, brother Von Haller, and many more. He is survived by: his Daughter Trudi McGrath ( Dave McGrath- son-in-law) Son Travis Haller ( Tina Haller- daughter-in-law) Grandkids: Trevor McGrath, Courtney McGrath, Lacey Haller, Brittany Haller, Layla Haller, Seth Haller, Gloria Haller, Liam Haller, Elsa Haller, Sophia Haller, James Haller, Great Grandkids: Eli Norwood, Theo Norwood, Silvia Grey, Elijah Bitzer, Hailey Bitzer, Dakota Bitzer, Baylee Paulk, Mackenzie Curry, Emma Mathison, Michael Curry.
