A man of great character, Jim was known for his love of his family, his humor, generosity, and his enduring kindness. He enjoyed building tank models, going on nature walks with his grandchildren, and was an avid fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. He also had a special affection for old movies, particularly the ones that sent shivers down your spine.
