Jim was a very devoted father, grandfather, brother, son and uncle. He was the protector of his family. He absolutely adored his children and grandchildren. None of his family ever had to doubt the love Jim had for them. Jim took much pride in coaching his kids in all of their sports. He especially loved playing baseball and golfing. He loved barbecuing and cooking for all of his friends and family. Fishing and karaoke were some of his favorite pastimes. He ultimately just loved spending as much time with his loved ones as possible. He definitely left a lasting impression on anyone he met.
