Jim enjoyed the old car hobby from a young boy up until the very end. He participated in car shows, swap meets, and was a member of the Pitcher Club car club. He was in the Army and Army Reserves 1962-1968. Jim retired from Wisconsin Electric after 42 years, and continued to enjoy going to breakfast with the WE guys. He will be fondly remembered for family breakfasts at Melrose, summer cruising, and his passion for classic cars which he passed onto his children.
A special thank you to Dave for providing more than mechanic services and Ascension Franklin. A celebration of Jim’s life will be announced at a later date by the family. Burial of ashes will be at St. Adalbert Cemetery.
