His passion was planes, trains and automobiles, but mostly cars from a very young age, and he truly enjoyed restoring them and hearing that first roar of a newly rebuilt engine.

Jim was a loving husband, father, hero, grandfather, and great-grandfather who adored his family. He will be dearly missed. 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
