He later flew commercial jets for USAIR. Jim loved his flying career. Jim put his wife and children first in his life. Jim's love of the gospel of Jesus Christ was exemplified throughout his life. He gave ultimate encouragement to those who came to him with a heavy heart. Jim's crowning jewels were his children. His favorite expression to his children was that they were princes and princesses of a Heavenly Father and to conduct themselves as royal heirs. Jim possessed a keen intellect and searched out the deeper meaning of life. Jim held judgments to himself and always verbally expressed an outpouring of love to his family and friends.
