Publish in a newspaper
Jim was born in Janesville, Wisconsin and graduated from Janesville Craig High School in 1968. Following graduation, he enlisted in the Navy and served during the Vietnam war. After discharge from the Navy, he accepted a position as a carman with the Chicago, Milwaukee, Saint Paul & Pacific Railroad in Bensenville, Illinois joining his father and brother. He also worked for the Soo Line & Canadian Pacific Railroad for a total of 41 years in the railroad business. He enjoyed spending time with the family and watching the Green Bay Paclkers, the Chicago Cubs and horse racing.
Per Jim's request, a private burial with military honors will take place at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Janesville, Wisconsin.
The family would also like to take this sad occasion to encourage everyone to consider smoking cessation if you are a current smoker and follow the recommendations of your family physician to help you avoid this preventable disease.
