He enjoyed buying and selling antiques and had an extensive collection of milk bottles. After his retirement he enjoyed taking day trips on his Harley or in his truck, to the Adirondacks and New Hampshire. Jimmy wasn't one to sit still, he always seemed to be on the go. He loved hunting at his camp on Indian Lake with family and friends and taking in all that nature gave him.
