Jim loved and was loved by a very large close family. The family of 25-35 people have gathered for Thanksgiving every year for 47 years. Due to COVID-19, 2020 was the only year there was no reunion. He enjoyed all of the many nieces and nephews and was known to them for his understanding and great sense of humor.
