Jim’s favorite pastime was spending time on Shasta Lake with Irma, where they found peace and joy in the beauty of nature. Whether boating, fishing, or simply soaking in the scenery, he cherished every moment on the water.
His love and involvement with his family extended to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom he adored.
