Jim grew up in Ross Township, working at his father's and uncle's monument company, and graduated from North Hills High School. He worked for UPS and then started his own business as a gravedigger. His business had become a trusted and reliable company in the Pittsburgh area for 44 years. Jim brightened any room he walked into with his smile and wit, and he always was good for a laugh. In his free time, he loved drag racing (watching or participating in it) and vacationing in the Bahamas with family and friends. Jim loved spending time with his grandkids always.
