He often said that his one true purpose in life was to help other alcoholics find their sobriety and that he wouldn't have been able to do without going through the process himself. Jim learned to ride a motorcycle when he was 56 years old and eventually rode through the entire 48 states during one season. He loved woodworking and photography. His passion was his yard and flower gardens. Jim had a great sense of humor and found joy everywhere he looked. He loved and he was loved.
