Upon returning Jim and his wife Bev were introduced by a mutual friend and were married for 74 years. One of the highlights of his life was participating in the Freedom Flight and traveling to Washington D.C. and visiting the WWII Memorial with other Veterans. He loved this country and was proud of his service in WWII. Jim began a long career in the insurance industry and was employed by Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company and Wellington Insurance Company in Toronto, Canada.
He was a gifted speaker, teacher and lecturer. He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

He had a strong testimony of the gospel and loved the Lord.
Jim lived life to the fullest. He was an avid baseball fan and enjoyed watching the San Francisco Giants. JIm loved spending time with his family, telling jokes and stories, spending time at their cabin in Bear Lake, traveling the world, hosting and organizing parties, attending his grandkids and great grandkids sporting events and puttering around the house. Jim touched the lives of everyone he met. He cared deeply for the relationships he forged in family, friends and colleagues. He inspired so many and was always the energy and life behind every gathering. We will remember him always as the loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and great great grandfather, brother and friend. The legacy he leaves behind is love of family, treasure friendships and selfless service.
