Jim Biles Obituary
Jim was a humble man with a great, loving heart. His greatest joys were his family and his cats. He especially loved being around his nieces and nephews, and the highlight of his day was the way his cats would greet him when he came home. Jim loved to be outdoors, appreciating nature and all of the animals in it. He enjoyed the challenge of fishing as well. In his younger days, he had a passion for all types of model airplanes and cars. He was a big country music fan and an avid Cubs fan. Jim was faced with health challenges in life, but he didn't let that stop him from finding enjoyment in it. He embraced life to the fullest, spreading joy and humor that never failed to leave those around him laughing
