James (Jim) Edward Melsek, age 69, a 20-year resident of Las Vegas, passed away on Monday, August 22, 2016. Jim was born on October 2, 1946, in Chicago, IL, to the late Joseph Edward Melsek and the late Genevieve (Morkin) Melsek.

After his honorable service in the Army, he joined the Los Angeles Department of Corrections, serving as a Parole Officer upon his retirement.

After a casino win of a 50th Anniversary Edition Corvette, he joined the Southern Nevada Corvette Club.

He is survived by his partner, Susan Sechrest; his cousin, Wayne Anderson; and many wonderful friends.
