James Spiroff

James L. “Jim” Spiroff, 79, of Morgantown, passed away peacefully with his family at his side on Thursday, July 6, 2023, at J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital.

He was born in Morgantown on November 19, 1943, a son of the late Leo and Odessa Franks Spiroff.

Jim is survived by his son, Michael Spiroff and spouse Misty; his grandchildren Alissa Martin and her companion Brendon, Ryan Weber, Brooke Spiroff and fiancé Austin Ammons, and Victoria Spiroff and her fiancé Gavin Henderson; his great-grandchildren, Hallie, Parker, Kamryn, and Aiden; his brothers, Tim Spiroff and spouse Connie of East Liverpool, Ohio, and David Ray Spiroff and his spouse Sue of Morgantown; his long-time companion Ruth Graham of Morgantown; and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Jim was preceded in death by his wife of 46 years, Sue Spiroff.

He and his wife Sue started their family business, Tri-State Exterminating, in 1969 and continued until 2011 when his son took over the business. He loved tinkering with cars and you could generally always find a car in his yard for sale. In his retired years, he enjoyed traveling and spending his winters in Florida with his companion, Ruth. Jim was a bit of a poker player, and enjoyed his usual poker nights with his buddies.

Friends may join the family to honor Jim’s life and legacy at Smith Funeral & Cremation Care, 108 Holland Ave. Westover/Morgantown from 4-8 p.m. on Monday, July 10. On Tuesday, July 11, a private graveside committal service will take place at Beverly Hills Memorial Gardens in Westover, where Jim will be laid to rest with his wife, Sue.
