Jim was born November 8, 1951 to Albert and Berniece Schneekloth of Tower City, ND. He graduated from Tower City High School in 1969 and enlisted in the army shortly after graduation. He spent two years in Germany where he met and married Elizabeth Siller. They moved back to the Buffalo area and farmed and raised sheep. Elizabeth and Jim enjoyed dancing and getting together with family and friends. They had two sons, Curtis and Eric.
