Jim’s passion was knocking on doors & handing out Gospel tracts.
He enjoyed walking or riding a bike for miles and miles. He loved animals, which were drawn to him, and he was teased for always over-feeding them. He loved his wife's homemade pies. He loved to tell his ghost stories and joke with all the youngsters.
He was famous for his quirky jokes which mostly embarrassed his wife. :)
