In his youth, Jim excelled in athletics including baseball, basketball, football and Track & Field. His senior year (1973), he was named All-State Iowa Quarterback. In retirement, Jim enjoyed the game of golf avidly, as well as gardening and local animal conservation efforts.

He was my financial advisor in Anacortes Wa. I only now looked him up because the personnel in my Edward Jones office has changed and was trying to remember who I started with and it was Jim. My deepest condolences. He was a wonderful gentleman.
