Jim enjoyed life and made people around him laugh. He loved strumming on his guitar, listening to western music, biking with his beloved toy poodle tucked in his back pack or in his red sports car, and hunting in his younger days.

Jim and Margie enjoyed life in Denver Colorado for 15 years and moved to Kingwood in 1982 from Denver Colorado.
