Jim had many jobs while waiting to get on to the Fire Department. His proudest day was when he became a Los Angeles County Fireman. He worked his way up to Engineer, then Captain, and retired in 1994.

Jim was a wonderful husband, father, grandpa, and great grandpa. He carried Jelly Beans in his pocket for the great grandchildren.

He left us because of a hospital error while receiving treatment at Mercy General Hospital in Sacramento. Gone too soon, all he took with him was love.
