Jim loved Jesus Christ and all of his family and so many wonderful friends. He was known for his kindness and generosity. He could always be seen passing out Werthers candy and fun little gadgets to everyone he encountered. Music was his passion in life and he played in many different bands since his teenage years. He played rhythm and bass guitar and keyboard. Jim loved teaching young people how to play guitar. He had a positive attitude towards life and a great sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by family and friends. We know he is at peace and no longer struggling with poor health.

Jim & I had a class together(Distibutive Education).We always had a great time together and laughed alot. I always called him "MY JIMMY BABY". After we both got married the 4 of us used to get together and/or go to wherever he was playing.We lost touch with each other once Jerry got drafted and we moved out of the area during that time.We have and will always think of him and of our fond memories together.We also remember the monkey they had and how entertaining and funny he was.Our thoughts/prayers go out to Jim's siblings/children/and a gran-daughter that will only have stories to know how GREAT her grampa was.....we will miss you Jim.

Jim and I had several classes together, he was my friend, we always talked about his band and his music. We always made a point to chat at the reunions. Very good guy and good friend.
