Jim enlisted in US Army in 1953 where he served overseas until his honorable discharge in 1955. He worked as a police officer for Tupper Lake Police department for almost 20 years then as a forester for Kavanaugh Logging, and later worked construction for Larkin's.
Jim had a lifelong passion for collecting scrap to recycle and took great pride in his junkyards. In his earlier years, he worked hauling pulp and logs, and could often be found tinkering away in his garage. He loved telling stories and deeply cherished the time he spent with his family.
