James "Bert" Minton, age 95, of Louisville, KY, passed away Sunday, (December 22, 2024) at Baptist Health Hospital in Louisville, KY.

He was born on March 20, 1929 in Grayson County, KY, the son of the late Frank and Delphia Tomes Minton.

He retired from General Electric in Louisville after 37 years, but went on to work at Louisville Airport for 25 years after that, finally retiring at the age of 89. Bert enjoyed gardening, playing ROOK, watching University of Kentucky basketball and never turned down a trip to the casino.  His great pleasure, though, was spending time with his grandchildren. He married Alice Armes on June 5, 1953, and together they lived a long and happy life. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army, serving from 1951 until 1953 for the Testing &Training 50th Signal Battalion.

He is survived by his loving wife, Alice Armes Minton of Louisville; his daughter and son-in-law, Tonya and Mark Copeland, of Louisville; and two grandchildren, Natalie and Sydney Copeland.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Delphia Minton; two brothers, Byron and Morton Minton; and one sister, Thelma Embry.
