Jim worked hard throughout his life was an engineer for over 30 years, primarily in tool and die, while working up the chain into management.  He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing.  He could often be found in the garage tinkering and woodworking.  Jim prided himself on maintaining the vegetable garden and beautiful yard.  He enjoyed playing poker and bridge with friends, bowling, playing softball, watching western, nature shows, and John Wayne movies on TV.  Jim was an active member of several men's social clubs, including the Lions Club.  He was a talented accordion and saxophone player and preferred to listen to Polish music.  Jim and Josie shared fond memories in their local travels as well as their adventure to Canada.  He was a very social guy who could not sit still and family oriented. Jim will be missed by all who knew him!
