James A. “Jim” Ditsch, 60, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, passed away Friday morning, April 6, 2018, at the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center.
Jim was born March 16, 1958, in Kittery, Maine, a son of the late Donald C. and Delores M. (Ellett) Ditsch.
Jim met Judy K. Fleck in Torrington, Wyoming, while attending Eastern Wyoming Community College. They dated for a period of time and were engaged to be married on April 10, 1979.

In 1986 they moved to Cheyenne and in 1993 Jim began working for the Wyoming Highway Department where he ultimately served as a Utilities Officer.
