On September 30, 1933 he married Gwynne Ida Dunning of Centralia. The ceremony was presided over by the bride's grandfather, Sterling Price Cox the founding minister of the Centralia Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints. They were later divorced. On July 26, 1944, Jim married Vera Madeline (Salmon) Johnson of Rochester. They were later divorced. in 1950 after many years in Lewis County, he moved to the Aberdeen-Hoquaim area, in 1956 he moved to Oregon, settling in Cottage Grove in 1962. Upon retirement he became a property caretaker. During these years he was an avid square dancer. He returned to Centralia in June 1989.

During his logging days, a favorite pastime was frequenting the card rooms. Often he was a dealer for "the house". He loved to dig clams. During a World War II blackout he drove from Centralia to Grayland in the middle of the night with only thin slits in the paper covering the auto headlights. In those days, clams were so plentiful that no one asked if you got your limit. In later years he became an avid Mariners fan and when pressed for the name of his favorite player would respond "Edgar Martinez". Cremation has taken place under the direction of Sticklin Funeral Home. A Memorial service will be held at a later date.
