Ambitious, driven and friendly are the words anyone in Williamsburg in the 1940’s would have used to describe James A. Marsee (Sr.). Mr. Marsee passed away the evening of Sunday, Feb. 21, 2021, in Ft. Myers, FL, where he and his wife Vickie had resided for two years.
Born on March 15, 1931, in Krupp, KY, his family moved and he started attending Williamsburg schools in 1944. He was the first in his family to graduate from H.S., in 1950. He took classes at Cumberland College that fall, before responding to the call of his country and volunteering for the Navy during the Korean Conflict. He was fortunate in his assignment as ship Bursar in Japan and Hawaii (’51-54). That combined experience led him to seek out a university with a Business School, Stetson University.
