He grew up with his older sister Anne and younger sister Judy, moving down the valley from Black Pines to Noble Creek to Westsyde. Jim loved animals and birds and they loved him. He fed the birds and talked to the deer out the back every morning. He took his sidekick, Tuxie the cat with him up until Tuxie died in June of this year.
