Born February 17, 1948, in Michigan City, Indiana, he was the son of the late Wayne and Thelma Plew.

On March 21, 1975, Jim married Kay (Colwell) Plew who preceded him in death in 2000.

Jim graduated from Elston High School (Michigan City, Indiana) in 1966, the year Elston won their only state basketball championship (Go Devils!).
