He was #1 Welder (Tool & Die / Maintenance) for Ford Motor Company for over 46 years. Jim was a family man. He was loving, loyal, kindhearted, and caring with a great sense of humor. His laugh was contagious and he told the best jokes and stories. He was a very hardworking man and would enjoy fixing stuff around the house with his son.

The most important thing in his life was his family, he loved them and always put them first. If Jim wasn’t working, he loved spending time with his family that loved him so much.
