 The Landings of Westerville. Jim was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to the
 late Christy J. and Blanche H. Monsul on September 18, 1939. In addition to his
 parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Robert Monsul and John

 Jim graduated from Ohio University in 1965 with a Bachelor’s degree in
 Architecture and The Ohio State University in 1969 with a Master’s degree in City
 and Regional Planning. He worked for the City of Columbus, State of Ohio and
 several firms before starting his own firm in 1973, James A. Monsul & Associates,
 Inc. He designed many shopping centers, churches, and residences, but his most
 notable project was The Celeste Center at the Ohio State Fairgrounds in 1988. Jim
 was dedicated to his business and continued practicing architecture and meeting
 with clients prior to his death.
 

Jim’s passion outside of work was the arts. He performed in many plays with
 Curtain Players and loved getting laughs and stealing the show. He also had a
 great appreciation for local artists and many different forms of mediums.
 Jim was a member of Rotary, Jaycees, and is a current member of First Church.
