In his earlier years Jim sailed on the Great Lakes and later returned home to work with the Labourers Union Local 1115.
He was a good friend to many. He loved the outdoors, spending many nights in the woods hiking with his brother Larry and many days hiking and fishing with his nephews, Tyler and Brandon.
