Jim lived in Fayetteville, Arkansas for many years and worked at the Library Club. He later became a truck driver and drove for several years.
He enjoyed fishing, going to the casino, shooting pool and going to listen to his musician friends play music. Jim was a guy that loved socializing with his friends. He considered his friends as family. Jim loved his family and family get togethers. He always looked forward to those special meals. He was an avid sports fan of both college and professional sports, but nothing was quite as special as going to watch his great nephew, Elan, play T-Ball and was looking forward to watching him play football.
Jim brought laughter to whomever he was around, no matter where he was. He touched many lives over the years and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
