Jim, eventually decided that retirement wasn’t for him. He took on a new challenge in Real Estate. His love for sales and optimistic attitude gave him the ability to make things happen and overcome just about any situation. He could sell just about anything, homes were easier, as he would said, everyone needs a place to put their groceries.

Jim had an incredible sense of humor, not only did his smile light up a room, he could make anyone laugh with his honest but blunt comments or sarcastic facial expressions. If you were a friend of Jim’s chances are, he drank you under the table at the Rustic Inn where he practiced regularly, then asked you if you were up for a round of golf in the morning. Jim being the entertainer he was, loved to tell stories of his adventures to anyone who would listened, his family will be the first ones to say, we heard them all a hundred times, in a hundred different ways but they never got old.

Jim will be greatly missed by all that knew him, he loved life and all that it offered. His incredible heart could be easily seen in the way he loved his wife of over forty years, his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. His captivating smile which he wore often, his eyes that sparkled like ocean blue water on its most magnificent day, his voice always welcoming and kind, his laugh that allowed him to capture an entire room will be remembered for all of eternity. Jim was a large man with a larger personality. His presence was nothing less than massive. Not to mention, he was Batman…..
