James Abdnor died peacefully at the age of 89 on May 16, 2012 at Dougherty Hospice House in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Jim Abdnor was born February 13, 1923, in Kennebec, South Dakota.

He was raised in the same Kennebec home that later became his residence for most of his life. Jim was a graduate of Kennebec High School where he participated in extracurricular activities including playing basketball, baseball, and football. He entered the U.S. Army and was proud to be a member of the American Legion. Jim was a lifetime farmer and rancher in the Kennebec area.

Jim's father, Samuel Joseph Abdnor, was a Lebanese immigrant and peddler who homesteaded in Lyman County, married Jim's mother Mary Wehby, and organized and operated a general merchandise store in Kennebec for several decades while raising Jim and his older siblings, Joseph S. Abdnor (Billie) and Marina Abdnor Ganz (Eric). Jim's parents and siblings preceded him in death. He is survived by 4 nieces, Leanne Abdnor, Lynne Barnett (Steve), Suzanne Condon (Michael) Rosemary Packard (Pat) and 2 nephews, James Abdnor (Susan) and Eric Ganz (Linda), and ten grand nieces and nephews. Jim loved young people and sports, especially baseball.

He never married or had children of his own, but he worked with and provided for young people his entire life. After graduating from the University of Nebraska in 1945, he was for several years a high school teacher and coach at Presho High School. He coached the American Legion baseball team in Kennebec and, in his later years, was an active fan and financial supporter of the American Legion Team Post 22 in Rapid City. When his success in politics carried him to Washington, D.C., Jim personally selected a continuing stream of promising South Dakota young people to serve as interns and staff, all of whom benefitted greatly from his personal mentoring and support. Many gained great prominence in South Dakota and national politics and business.

His legacy of support for the youth of South Dakota is continued through an endowed scholarship at the University of South Dakota established by friends and colleagues of the Senator. Jim's outgoing personality fostered friendship with every person he met and his fervent interest in service to his fellow man laid the framework for a very successful political career. By age 30, he had become chairman of the South Dakota Young Republicans, and he later served as farm chairman of the Young Republican National Federation. Jim served in the South Dakota State Senate from 1956 to 1968 and was elected the state's Lieutenant Governor in 1968. He was first elected to the U.S.

House of Representatives in 1972 where he served four terms until his election in 1980 to the U.S. Senate. Following his term in the U.S. Senate, in 1987 Jim was appointed head of the U.S. Small Business Administration where he Sandra Kay "Sandy" Bauerle, 58, passed away May 9, 2012 upon her arrival at Golden Living Center in Salem, SD.

This legislation improved the rights of South Dakotans to use surface and underground water throughout the State.
