He worked at Masonite Corp. as a Mechanical Millwright. He served his country, honorably retiring from the US Navy as a Boiler Tech Chief/Instructor after 22 years. He was proud of being a grandpa, of his two daughters and his service to his country. Jim loved his bowling and fishing and spending time with his grandchildren. He enjoyed his loud rock n roll and riding his VW trike. He will be remembered for always being a phone call away. Dad would just do - hed never ask why and would be there.
