Jim lived a long life of service to his fellow man as a police officer, first in Lombard, IL, then with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. He was husband, father, son, brother, grandpa, friend, and mentor to so many. He was an accountant, he was a carpenter, he was intelligence personified. He was equally as gentle as he was strong. He will be sorely missed.
