Jim graduated from Bedford High School in 1958. Shortly after, he enlisted in the Navy, serving from 1959 to 1963. During his naval service, he served aboard the U.S.S. Springfield and went around the world in 1960 on the U.S.S. Canberra. He joined the Army from 1963 to 1966, where he was stationed at several bases around the world and served in the Vietnam War.
After his military service, Jim worked for 30 years at Dana Corporation before retiring. He then spent nine more years at TTC before fully retiring from his career. Some of Jim's favorite hobbies were gardening and traveling. He always cherished reconnecting with classmates at Bedford High School class of 1958 reunions and stayed in touch with many of them over the years. Jim was also a proud member of the Vietnam Veterans of America.
