Jim was someone who found joy in the simple things in life, he loved to drink a cold Coors Light while grilling on his front porch listening to music. He was an avid Nascar fan and loved to attend the Daytona 500 races with friends and family. Jim was the life of the party, there is no better way to describe him, if you were with him you were having fun.
