Jim was a strong willed and stubborn man that had a fantastic gift of gab.  He could make friends with anyone that he crossed paths with.  He was a man that went along to the beat of his own drum.  Jim also had a passion for carpentry and woodworking.  The imagination that he had, he could come up with anything that came to mind or if someone asked him to make them something.  Jim was also an avid hunter and loved adventures.
Jim was a one of a kind Father, Uncle, Grandfather, Great Grandfather and friend.  He will be dearly missed.
