James Ezra “Jim” Husted, 82, of Clinton passed away on June 1. He was born Oct. 16, 1938, in Madison, to William Benjamin Husted and Clara Jean Grove.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents William Benjamin Husted and Clara Jean Grove and by his wife of more than 50 years, Charlotte (Sherman) Husted.

He also leaves behind brothers Benjamin Husted of Massachusetts and Robert Husted of Connecticut. He was especially proud to be the grandfather of six grandchildren, Jessica, Rebecca, Mark, Emily, Alex, and Nicholas, and three great-grandchildren, Hayden, Kensley, Mavrick; one of his greatest joys was making them laugh.
