Jim was a remarkable person; a funny, kind, honorable man who was a friend to all.
Amateur (HAM) Radio was one of Jim’s favorite hobbies, and he had many friends in the Arrowhead Amateur Radio Club and throughout the United States. He and Teresa liked attending Ham Fests and Field Days around the country. He was a fan of old GMC motorhomes and a member of the Greater Midwest Classics Motorhome Club. He and Teresa were active in the Family Motor Coach Association and the Laurentian Divide Kampers, going on many campouts with these groups. He also loved old cars, going to car shows, his 1967 candy apple red El Camino and the friends (and family!) he found in the Dream Machine Car Club of Virginia, MN. He maintained a membership in both the Minnesota and National Rural Letter Carriers Association and attended many State and National conventions over the years, where he made many life-long friends. Jim was enormously proud to be a United States Veteran, and he and Teresa were highly active in the Cloquet, MN, branch of the Disabled American Veterans, where they volunteered at the DAV rummage sales and the DAV brat wagon.
