James L. Street Sr., hardworking man
James L. Street Sr., “Jim,” 88, of Millsboro departed this life Monday, April 20, 2020. Jim was born Feb. 7, 1932, in Millsboro to the late Lawrence and Etta (Miller) Street. Jim is preceded in death by his wife of 66 years, Elena Street, as well as his three brothers William, Vincent and Reginald Street.
Jim was self-employed. He had his own pest control company, and sold and hauled mulch as well as sawdust. Jim enjoyed all types of racing, from horses to cars. Jim and Elena built a go-kart track in their backyard which they operated from 1968-85. James worked hard, and loved to joke around with his family and friends.
Jim loved being outdoors, but most of all loved his family and did what he could to spend time with all of them. The first weekend in September, Jim could be found helping at the Nanticoke Powwow seating people in the handicapped section alongside Elena.
Jim is survived by his son James L. Street Jr. of Millsboro; two grandchildren, Mario (Stacie) Street of Millsboro and Tshnina Street of Milton; two great-granddaughters, Trista and Kinley Street; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Nanticoke Indian Association Inc., 27073 John J. Williams Hwy., Millsboro, DE 19966 in remembrance of Jim.
