As a kid he would go with his family in the summers to Edinburg NY where he gained an additional family that would be with him throughout his entire life. He attended SUNY at Oneonta and received a Bachelor of Science.
After receiving his Bachelors he began working in the NYPD Emergency Service Unit (ESU Truck 6) with men he lovingly referred to as ‘brothers’. In 2002 he moved to Edinburg, NY where he raised two incredible children and has lived ever since. Jim was a selfless individual who was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it.
He lived for his children and supported them in every venture he could whether it be building his son a wiffleball stadium or visiting his daughter as she volunteered in the peace corps in Botswana. Jim was a highly skilled shuffleboard player and would often play with friends on Wednesday nights at Captain Nauti’s. He loved to spend his evenings with his beloved dog Riley relaxing on his deck watch the sunset and sharing these incredible photos with friends and family.
