Jim was a man that enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. He loved his wife, children, and grandchildren with all his heart. He worked hard to provide them with a stable home and a good life. He also loved his brother's and sister's company. His motorcycle trips with his brothers were memories he deeply cherished.
He loved his friends dearly and enjoyed playing volleyball, boating trips, playing with his dogs, and having a good laugh. He looked forward to the weekly Friday evening beer with the neighbors.
He loved his work and took pride in developing his expertise. He took every opportunity to mentor and teach his coworkers how to run and troubleshoot every piece of equipment. He reveled in others' amazement in his uncanny abilities to resolve every mechanical issue. Jim was a self-taught woodworking craftsman. He enjoyed crafting pieces for others and their enjoyment meant a great deal to him. Jim could repair and fix just about anything whether at work or home. He truly was a jack of all trades.
His family and friends will miss him dearly, but he will live on through us.
