Jim and Sue enjoyed travel, card games, camping, fishing Ebbetts Pass lakes & rivers, archery, hunting, big band music, dancing, western movies and spending time with friends. He also loved restoring his 1949 Mercury and then joined the Sierra Angels Car Club. Jim always smiled when Sue quoted “He was my best 30 years”. He enjoyed playing cards with his mother-in-law as she cheated to keep him on his toes. Jim bought property in Avery in 1972 where he built a shop. He moved to Avery in 1988 when he met Sue. They lived in the shop while building their house. He bought a house in Hawaii because he loved the islands so much.
