Jim was the ultimate family man. He and his wife, Judy, celebrated 40 years of marriage this fall. In addition to Judy, he is survived by his son, Noel, daughter in law, Amy, and two grandchildren, Annabelle and Noely, all of which he was immensely proud and loved dearly. He is preceded in death by his infant son, Peter.
Jim lived a full life and enjoyed a very successful and long career. Prior to his retirement in 2018, he worked 41 years for Copper & Brass Sales, the last 20 as part of ThyssenKrupp. Throughout his career, he held various leadership positions, however he was proudest of his role as President of TKK Logistics, Inc which he built from the ground up. Jim was a beloved, genuine and empathetic leader and took immense pride in caring for his employees.
Jim enjoyed traveling, playing golf, and was an avid historian. Even through his battle with cancer, he was able to celebrate with friends and family up to his last days. He will be profoundly missed.
