Jim was a long-time member of the Waupaca Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He enjoyed reading and studying his Bible and sharing his faith with others in the community. He spent most of his life in the Scandinavia and Waupaca area. Jim worked for the Soo Line railroad for many years, and then drove school bus for the Waupaca School district. He enjoyed gardening, fishing, playing cards, writing poetry and jingles, watching and playing baseball… everyone wanted him on their team! He also loved travel, even a day-trip to view the colorful change of seasons.
