Jim retired from Terex as Service Manager, N.A. Backhoe Loaders in Lawrenceville, GA. Traveling the world was second nature to him and he would study maps with great pleasure. He was always up for a road trip.
In retirement, he spent many hours on the farm in WV mowing the fields on his Ford Tractor. Afterwards, he enjoyed sitting on the farmhouse porch chatting with his good neighbors.
A private Celebration of Life was held November 1. Inurnment will take place at Shiloh Cemetery in WV at a later date.
