He married his wife, Glee Ann, in 1964. Their daughter, Mary Ann, was born in 1966. As a family they travelled by car to across the Unites States to visit national parks, presidential libraries, amusement parks and family. Jim and Glee were loyal Richmond High School basketball and football fans. They loved to go out to dinner and enjoyed outings with family and friends.
