GEPSON, James W. Jul 30, 1935 Nov 27, 2012 James W. Gepson served in the Navy during the Korean War and served twice in the Navy Reserves. He was an avid Husker, Green Bay Packers and St. Louis Cardinals sports fan. In later years, he was an avid golfer, woodcarver and gardener. He enjoyed playing Chess, dancing and experimental cooking. He was a voracious reader and an expert with crossword puzzles. James was also an accomplished educator. He taught American Government and Debate at Bellevue High School and ended his career at College of St. Mary. In between, he had worked with the Job Corps, Westinghouse Learning Corporation and was Training Director for both Burroughs Corporation and the City Of Omaha.

Above all, he was a beloved father, grandfather, brother and a friend to many. When he is done teaching his final lessons, he will be taken to Kodiak Island in Alaska. He is survived by daughter, Paula Gepson; son and daughter-in-law, Steve and Lisa Gepson; grandchildren, Jessica and Corey Gepson; brothers, Peter Gepson and Don Gepson.
