Being on the lake or river was his other happy place. He never passed up a chance to stop at a dam to watch the barges pass through or throw a pole in the water to hook a bluegill or go for an evening cruise. From his Sea Ray Run About to Chris Craft Cabin cruiser to his pontoon boat, he was always on top of the upkeep and ready to take them out for sunset cruise.

Responsible for fueling airplanes, he did his part in protecting Eastern Europe. During his service, he travelled through Europe with his friends and saw countless places.

Jim loved his family above all else. He always loved to stay in touch and even mastered the use of his IPhone just so he could call or text more frequently.
