Jim was born on February 15, 1941 in Stockton, CA. He attended Tracy High School and Delta College. He married Sandra Costa on January 22, 1969. As a child, Jim worked in the farming and agricultural business and continued his passion for work into his last days of life.
Jim nourished people around him with love, faith, and music. He enjoyed traveling and spending time with friends and family. Jim had a tremendous passion for aviation and as a pilot loved being up in the air.
He loved to play the accordion and his idol was Dick Contino, who later became one of his best friends.
Jim truly lived life to the fullest and had an uncanny ability to reach people in a profound way. His work was his hobby and lead to many close personal friendships and businesses in many parts of the world… especially in Japan, Mexico and Peru.
