Jim served his country from October 1961 through March 1966 in the first Airborne 144th infantry and 49th armored division. He was activated during the Berlin Crisis of 1961.

He will be deeply missed by his family and all who love him.

I worked with Jim at Broadway Plaza and was very glad that I got to know him while he was there. He always made me laugh and realize I was important in my job. He was greatly missed when he left to pursue other projects. God be with you at this time and know that he is resting peacefully with his loving God.
