Those who were close to Jim know him as someone with a deep love for his wife, family and especially, his grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Jim was always quick witted, happy to share a laugh and a good chuckle with those he met.

Jim was an active member of many professional and personal interest groups from Candlelighters and the Ronald McDonald House to being a past Master of the Masonic Lodge of Maine and a Deacon of Faith United Baptist Church in Lower Sackville. He holds a 50 year membership for the Atlantic Golf Course Association and a 55 year member Masonic Grand Lodge of Maine. For many years, Jim played the role of Santa for the Children’s Oncology Department of the IWK in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
