James E. Dahr, III, 67, passed away peacefully and surrounded by his loving family on Thursday July 27, 2017 at his home in Murrells Inlet. He was born on January 25, 1950 in Bridgeport, Connecticut to the late James Ervin and Irene Saunders Dahr, Sr. Jim proudly served his country in the United States Navy from 1970, until 1976 where he was assigned to squadron, VFA-37 Ragin' Bulls. Following his honorable discharge and return to Connecticut, Jim went on to work for Sikorsky Aircraft from where he retired after more than 30 years of dedicated service.

In his free time, he could be found on the beautiful local beaches, soaking up the sun. He was a devoted New York Yankees fan. Never known to slow down, he was also a member of the American Legion for 35 years.
