Jim was a lifelong farmer until he retired in 1984. Jim also was an avid gardener who loved sharing his produce with everyone. Ask for a few vegetables, and he would send you away with overflowing bags. Jim lovingly cared for his apple orchard as well. He would never pass up a game of horseshoes, and spent many of his Sundays playing cards with his family. Jim liked hunting in his spare time, and in his younger years, he and his wife spent many nights dancing.
