August 25, 1929 - December 6, 2020
Jim Nyenhuis took his final ride through heavens gates on December 6, 2020 at the age of 91. He was born the youngest of 15 children to Inze and Immigje Nijenhuis on August 25, 1929 in Heerenveen, Holland. He grew up riding horses and working on the family dairy farm. He immigrated to southern California in 1947 and milked cows by hand for work. He married the love of his life, Annie Hettinga on September 16, 1953. They soon started their own dairy business in Lynwood California and in 1957 moved their dairy operation to Chino California, retiring in 2017. Dairying was something he was born to do and it became his life long passion.
