He was a member of St. Joseph Church, Zell, American Legion Post 150, Knights of Columbus Council 1037, proudly served his country in the Army, and he was a eucharistic minister.
Jim was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, and boating. He was a diehard baseball fan, and rooted for the Cardinals, unless they were playing the Braves. Jim was also a football fan and rooted for the 49ers. He was a collector of John Deere tractors and was happiest when he was riding one.
Most importantly, Jim loved his family more than anything. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
