Jim served during peace time in the United States Marines and then re-upped and finished out his military career in the United States Navy. He loved fishing with his grandchildren and taking day trips with his wife, Judy. Jim’s family and the Lord meant everything to him. 

There will be a fellowship dinner at the Delphos Wesleyan Church at a later date.
