North Fulton High School and graduated from the
University of Georgia and was a member of the SAE
Fraternity and later he was a longtime member of
The Buckhead Boys. Jim worked for over 40 years
for AT& T and later for the State of Georgia. He was
an expert in logistical communications and retired at
the age of 75. A lifetime member of Ansley Golf
Club, he was an avid golfer and a life long Bulldog
fan. Jim’s first priority was his family and his
unbridled love for his bride, Mary. He was a
dedicated grandfather and rarely missed a school
performance or a lacrosse or football game.
