Attending yearly family reunions in Iowa and weekly phone calls kept him close to family members. He was a skilled woodworker. He made numerous intricate toys, beautiful shelves and jewelry boxes, airplanes and clocks. After retiring, he continued repairing clocks and watches until he was 80 years old. He loved the beauty of Colorado, playing horseshoes and a good practical joke. Jim passed away after a difficult battle with cancer. In keeping with his wishes, Jim will be cremated and the ashes will be buried in the family plot in Iowa.
