He was the loving father of Jennifer Cooper (Frederick V.), James, and Charles (Stephanie), and grandfather of Lillianne, Margaret, Bradford, Abigail, and Henry.

Jim spent many years volunteering and then being President of The Fredericksburg Area Running Club, and was the proud director of the Great Train Race and Blue and Gray Half Marathon.

In his free time he enjoyed being a private pilot, skiing, hiking, traveling the US and world, restoring classic cars, and in retirement, sailing and walking his dog. He attempted and excelled at countless hobbies and endeavors, and often did these activities with family and friends. Jim was incredibly self sufficient and enjoyed doing any type of project that he could get his hands on. Jim built two beautiful homes by hand and this past year remodeled his kitchen and his son’s.
