Recently retired, Rev. Jim was a United Methodist pastor for more than 35 years. He was a joyful servant of God with a passion for mission work, leading youth retreats and singing in church and community choirs. As pastor, he served Canfield, New Philadelphia First, Doylestown, Shelby, Toronto and Coalburg United Methodist churches. Jim served six years as the Three Rivers District Superintendent in Coshocton supervising more than 70 churches in that district. At that time he served as Secretary of the Cabinet.

An avid fan of musical theater, Jim never missed an opportunity to see the latest Broadway show. He also loved boating on Guilford Lake after his retirement.
