Growing up on Shriner Lake, Jim enjoyed all of the lake activities and spent his entire life living on the lake. He graduated from Columbia City Joint High School with the Class of 1973. He started working for Weatherhead in Columbia City as he was finishing high school and spent his work career there, retiring from C.F. Goma. On February 8, 2000, he married Lorelei Teghtmeyer.
Jim was a hard worker, strong willed, independent, helpful and caring. He was active, worked out almost every day, and was an avid golfer. He spent many days golfing at Crooked Lake and Maxwelton Golf Club. Jim possessed the skills to work on cars and even restored his 1969 Camero that he had owned since he was in his 20s. He also was a skilled woodworker, carpenter and even built a few homes. He found relaxation being at the lake and loved spending time with his family and adored his granddaughters.
