Jim loved to travel with his family, taking his young children and often their friends to many NASCAR races, ski trips and places of interest throughout the states.

In later years he enjoyed traveling with his grandchildren on many fun adventures throughout the states also. He also loved traveling with his wife, beloved dog, Cher and close friends throughout the states in his RV. At home, he always made it a priority to attend his grandchildren's athletic events, whether it was a soccer, basketball or volleyball game they were participating in, he was there on the sidelines cheering them on.
