Jim was a semi driver, tow truck Driver, EMT, and heavy equipment operator.  After retirement he did dirt and rock work for foundations and landscaping. His favorite past times were hunting, and spending time with his friends and family.  He was considered a "Jack of all trades", but he did master one - Love. He was a loving son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. He loved everyone he met and would give the shirt off his back if he thought it might help. He took in the lonely and broken to try to help them out when possible. He was well known and well liked and will be missed by all.

"I Miss My Dad – He loved me for who I was and accepted me for who I was striving to become.  Dads are strong for a reason.  Their strength gives us a sense of protection.  Now that you are in Heaven Dad, I know you will continue to protect me. Thanks for being MY Dad. I will always love and miss you until we meet again." ( familyshare.com )
