Jim served in the United States Marine Corps with two tours of duty in Vietnam. Once a marine always a marine proudly giving an “oorah” to his fellow marines. Stopping to thank all his fellow service men and women for their service. Patriotic and willing to serve again if asked.

After a long career in the telecommunications industry, Jim worked assisting with funerals. His warmth, caring, and respect for the deceased and grieving loved ones eased this difficult time for so many.

Jim was full of kindness, generosity, humor, sensitivity, and wisdom. His compassion and understanding of this world grew as few of us are able to achieve. His love was a quiet, simple, and profoundly deep love for all who were blessed to know him.
