Jim was a US Army Veteran, he served in Korea as a cook from 1966 to 1968. He was an avid outdoorsman; he enjoyed fishing, hunting and camping. He was a talented handyman that could fix anything! He was an active member of the Brown Memorial United Methodist Church; he actively volunteered by cooking, working in the pantry and of course fixing any repairs that needed to be done. He was a loving husband, father, brother and friend who would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
