Jim was born July 27 1943 in Long Beach, California.  His family moved to Dallas in 1944.  The universe has lost a brilliant mind on June 9th, 2026.  Jim could fix anything.  He cared for his family and his precious pets.  He enjoyed sitting on the back porch watching the birds and watching the neighbors chickens. He is survived by his wife, sons and daughters. He loved his church family and his friends.  He loved to tell stories. He will be missed in so many ways. After a long illness he is pain free and with our Lord God.
