On August 5, 2007 he was united in marriage to Vicki L. Kuiper. Jim was an entrepreneur of various businesses, lastly working in sales liquidation. Jim was a car enthusiast but also had a passion for traveling in his motor home. He was a free spirit whether it be riding across the country on his motorcycle or racing his speedboats.
