Jim was born in Everett WA. He served in the United States Air Force, traveled stateside and abroad, but always came home to Washington. Jim worked for the forest industry for many years and was an environmental steward. He then went into customer service, where multitudes of people would stop into his store and talk with him for hours. Jim was a friend of Bill W. for 32 years, but most of all Jim was a caring and supportive father and grandfather, who will be missed very much. In lieu of flowers, Jim would have you be good to one another; support a neighbor in need, listen to those who need an ear, and take your own inventory, before judging another person on theirs.
