Of North Versailles, age 81, died on Thursday, June 12, 2025.
Jim was born and raised in Braddock, the son of the late Stanley and Gertrude (Burkhart) Kubeldzis.
He was the brother of Carol Kubeldzis of North Versailles and the late Stanley "Tucker" (surviving spouse, Kathy) Kubeldzis. Because of Stanley's nickname, "Tucker", Jim became known as "Little Tucker".
Jim was a 1961 graduate of Braddock High School. He was a laborer at many crafts that led him to a career in the construction trades. He labored in constructing buildings from the ground up, from clearing the property to the final layer of asphalt. Jim was very fond of nature and animals, a trait he developed as a youngster at his Uncle Stanley’s farm where he lived for a period of time and spent many hours. Jim also enjoyed antiquing, reading, and he loved to watch football.
