His work with James River Corporation brought him and his family to Georgia in 1993. He retired from Amcor Packaging in 2013. Jim enjoyed listening to music and reading, but most notably loved the outdoors. He was at home hiking in the mountains, but the ocean was his favorite place to visit. He could otherwise be found relaxing in his backyard, cheering on the Detroit Lions, or playing golf. Jim was often accompanied by one the several dogs he had over the years.
