Jim attended Cardinal Mindszenty High School until its closure and was a graduate of Dunkirk High School. He was an alumnus of Arizona State University, where he met his wife.
Jim was Vice President of Trading at Goldcorp, a leading gold production company. He was a dedicated, longserving employee, a larger-than-life character who will be missed by all who knew him.
A Memorial Service will be held at the convenience of the family.
