Throughout his life Jim was a strong community person and actively volunteered in his community and church. As a young man, he really enjoyed baseball and was a very good ball player. Jim was very good at wood working and really enjoyed making bowls and many other artifacts during his retirement. Jim loved all generations of his family and enjoyed every visit he had with them.
