After retiring, Jim and Phyllis remodeled the 1839 Cochran Indian Creek Acres Farm house and enjoyed living the farm life for a number of years. Jim attended Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church and presently is a member of Saint Matthew Lutheran Church of Darrtown. Private graveside services are being held at Greenwood Cemetery.
