He married the love of his life Julie Gonyea on June 25th, 1983 and they raised their family together in Lake Placid. His wife and kids meant the world to him and they spent time together camping, fishing, and enjoyed trips to flea markets and watching auctions. He was a great husband, father and papa and would do anything for his family. Jim and his grandson Julius shared many hobbies including collecting coins and jewelry, listening to classic rock, watching MASH, and playing countless hands of cards. Jim is survived by his wife Julie, daughter Tara, son Jimmy (Whitney), and beloved grandson Julius who was the apple of his eye. He is also leaving behind two brothers, Phil (Amy) and Donald both of Lake Placid, one sister Lynda of Keyport NJ, several nieces and nephews, and his close circle of real friends.
