Jim was an avid artist and fisherman. With art he liked painting landscapes with oils and pastels. His home and many others are decorated with his artwork. He loved fishing and enjoyed ocean surf fishing as well as lake fishing.

He loved NASCAR and cars in general. He loved his 1962 MGB, but realized he couldn’t keep that and his growing family. He chose the family over the car. He owned many different cars over the years.

He did NOT like newer technology and never wanted to use a computer or cell phone, and never did. Although he disliked computers, he did discover YouTube and enjoyed train videos and live videos from various airports around the world, particularly LAX.

His quiet demeanor and quick sense of humor are still legendary.
