Jim led a rich and fulfilling life, leaving behind cherished memories for his family and friends. He went to school in Rogers. He worked with his dad in the poultry industry in his younger years; then he was a highwayman in Houston, TX. He worked as a machinist for Crane Valve in Rogers for 34 years. After he retired he made deliveries for D&G Sales for his best friend Leon Chadwick. He was an avid sportsman, and fish and deer feared him. Jim was a loyal Razorback fan, he had a large vegetable garden that provided many, many jars of canned goods, and he loved reading & assembling jigsaw puzzles. He was a devoted father and beloved grandfather, but his most important accomplishment was that he had been married to his bride Carol for 52 years.
