He was a member of the Wynne Church of God and read his bible every night. Jim enjoyed watching sports 24/7, especially the Razorbacks, hunting, fishing and bragging about his catches! His favorite pastime was watching his kids and grandkids play ball, never missing a game. Jim was a hard worker, he was tough, but a very nice guy, always kind to everyone he met. He had a lot of common sense and was a practical joker, always smiling and loved by everyone who knew him.
