Jim enjoyed being self-employed as an antique dealer. He was also an auction ring man for Storm Auction Company. Not only was this his career path, but it was also his favorite pastime, as he loved going to yard sales, flea markets, and auctions. Jim enjoyed selling his treasures in Santa Fe and Quartzsite. He spent most summers looking high and low for valuable antiques. In addition to this, he cherished going hunting and fishing with his family and taking family trips to Minnesota.
Jim was an amazing husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather. He is loved and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to both Sangre De Cristo Hospice and Bruce McCandless Veterans Community Living Center.
