He was never without a book, either on his phone or actual book. He LOVED to read! Jim was extremely passionate about his pool game and spent many years competing on various APA teams. He was an excellent cook, and he loved being a stay at home dad. His two sons were everything to him and family was most important to him. He would help anyone out, even two strangers after death with the donation of his heart and liver..He never let his handicap define him and he loved the outdoors. Everyone will very much miss his quick wit, humor and sarcasm.
