He worked various jobs including boat manufacturing, before becoming disabled. One of his favorite jobs was at an auto auction. Jim always found humor in every situation; always looking for laughter and to make others laugh. We can still hear his catch phrase "Matter of fact" followed by the thought on his mind at the moment.
