Jim was born in Granum, Alberta, Canada. In 1963 he moved his family to Freeport, Grand Bahama for 10 years and then to Stuart. He became an American citizen in 1983. He loved life, worked hard in construction and loved to play cards. He played the piano for many occasions and was even in a band many years ago. Griffin named him PePaw when he learned to talk. That is what all the children and those special grandchildren called him. He spent many years living and working in Tampa and leaves many friends there as well. He never met a person he didn’t like. He will be missed by both family and friends. The family will celebrate his life in private.
