Jim Ogle
OBITUARY
James Albert Ogle, Jr. (Jim) passed away peacefully on November 15, 2025, with his wife, Sue Ogle, by his side. He was 89.
Born in 1936 in San Diego to James Albert Ogle, Sr. (Al) and May Day Ogle, Jim grew up in Point Loma and graduated from Point Loma High School in 1954. He was the first in his family to graduate from college, attending the University of California, Berkeley on a Naval ROTC scholarship. After graduating in 1958, he served in the Navy for two years.
In 1960, Jim joined Lloyd Pest Control, the business that his father, Al, had acquired in 1936 for $125. In 1975, he took over the business from his father and retired in 2000. Over the next 25 years, Jim expanded the company and successfully transitioned it to his son, Jamie, making Lloyd Pest Control a third-generation family-owned enterprise, which continues to thrive today.
In 1964, Jim enjoyed playing beach volleyball on Shelter Island. During one of these games, he met Wally Springstead, whose daughter, Sue, came to watch and became intrigued by Jim. Wally, impressed by Jim’s competitive spirit and integrity, was happy to have him date his eldest daughter.
After just two months of courtship, they became engaged. On February 1, 1965, Sue and Jim were married, celebrating with a reception at the San Diego Yacht Club—a place they cherished together for 60 years.
Throughout their life, Sue and Jim participated in sailing, fishing, skiing, tennis, golf, and traveling. They bought a home in Point Loma, where they lovingly maintained their residence for nearly 50 years.
Those who knew Jim recognized him as a loving, kind, honest, and hard-working individual who sincerely cared for his friends and family, always going the extra mile to show his support.
He had a fondness for cookies, milkshakes, and french fries (not to mention anyone else’s fries at the same table!), relishing moments spent with loved ones on ski slopes, fishing trips, tennis courts, or golf courses.
Jim continued skiing with family until he was 82, fished with his grandson at 84, and played golf with Sue past his 87th birthday. Above all, Jim cherished the time spent with his family.
Jim is survived by his dear wife, Sue, their children, Jamie (Amy) and Bob (Chaela), and four grandchildren—Sarah (Tyler), Charlie, Mia, and Wyatt. He is also survived by his sister Marion Augustine and his nieces and nephews Greg Augustine (Mary), Doug Augustine (Kimiko), and Lori Hughes (Shaun).
Jim’s family expresses their heartfelt gratitude to the healthcare institutions that supported him during his final years, including Cheer Home Health Care, Apreva Hospice, and Monarch Cottage.
