In retirement, Jim also became active in the Logansport Lions Club and the Bethel United Methodist Church where he had been a member since his youth. Whatever the activity or the project, Jim was always the “mechanic” or the “builder” behind the scenes figuring out how to turn ideas into reality.

Time was cut short by her battle with cancer, or as she called it, Bacteria, but for those here who are left for the moment with those fond memories know that time will be restored when we see her again on the shores of Glory.
