Jim treasured spending his time with his siblings and family. His favorite times were outdoors. He enjoyed camping, fishing, going to car races, and in the earlier years riding motorcycles with a group of friends ( the Hal’s Angels). He also loved going on vacations and traveling. Jim was a Jack of all trades. There wasn’t anything he couldn’t fix or build. Jim was very fond of his pond in the backyard of his home where he fed his fish and frogs. He enjoyed going to Darren and Debbie’s Ranch where he fished, planted a large garden, and enjoyed hanging out with family. When he wasn’t traveling with Pat, he enjoyed going and supporting his granddaughters at their school and sporting events. Eventually with his family ever growing, he was proud to be there for his great-grandchildren’s many accomplishments as well. Jim took pride in his family and his work.
Jim enjoyed reading his bible and loved the Lord. He was extremely devoted in his faith.
While Jim was a lot of amazing things, he was also very ornery! He was known as a bit of a prankster. He loved practical jokes and everyone around him knew his sense of humor. He had a knack for lighting up the world around him.
