Jim retired from Southern Railroad and Norfolk Southern Railroad where he worked for 35 years as a diesel electrician. He loved the Lord and was a student of the word of God. He was an avid reader and enjoyed learning about life. He loved waterskiing, jet skis, motorcycles, in-line skating and loved tinkering with cars. Jim enjoyed singing and was on the praise team at Clear Creek Church of Christ where he attended for the past 34 years.
