An avid outdoorsman. Jim had a great love for fishing and hunting. After moving to Montana in 2001, he lived on an acreage complete with a pond and woods at the base of the Mission Mountain Range. His vegetable garden and many fruit trees became the envy of his neighbors. Friends in Storm Lake commented that Storm Lake had a lot more fish once Jim moved to Montana.
