Jim worked as a machinist his entire career. The last 16 years of his career were spent working at Lagoon as their only machinist.

Many summers were spent at Snowbird where many memories were made. They spent many vacations exploring different places with their lifelong friends, Mike and Peggy Davis. We will miss his eggrolls, and Rigatoni with homemade sauce. It made him happy to make coffees and chai’s for everyone, especially during Utah Jazz halftimes. He loved making custom jewelry for family and friends. He was affectionately known as “grandpa grumpy”. He was a man of few words but showed his love to his family by many acts of service.
