Jim married the love of his life, Deborah, on April 6, 1991.They resided in Brea for 28 years and relocated to Laguna Woods in 2018.Jim retired in 1998 and enjoyed cruising the globe and dancing the nights away with his beautiful wife, who referred to him as her "stud muffin".
Jim was a dedicated man who did anything and everything for his wife, daughters, grandchildren, and friends.Jim will be remembered for his fun-loving antics, quick wit, stories, and jokes which brought laughter to all who heard him. He was also very handy with tools and worked on cars as well as home improvement projects. He valued fitness and eating healthy and shared his wealth of knowledge with family, friends, and students. He could be seen jogging through small towns all over the world; and doing handstands anywhere, including on the Vatican steps.
