He proudly served in the Naval Air Force. After this he began his career and was a skilled craftsman as a Tool and Die Maker with Ford Motor Company for 41 years. Jim was blessed with so many special talents. He literally could fix anything that needed to be repaired or tweaked…bikes, appliances, cars …..

After he retired, he continued to share his talents in service to his parish volunteering in RCIA, Pre-Marriage Encounter, Youth Group, Adoration and has served a Eucharistic Minister for several years during Mass as well as providing prayer and communion to the sick at the local hospital. He always helped anyone in need with a kind and charitable heart.

His genuinely warm personality and engaging communication style made everyone he came in contact with feel comfortable and valued. His sense of humor and art of story-telling provided fun and laughter to gatherings. He was a humble, gentle man that will be missed by all who had the honor to spend time with him.
