After finishing high school, Jim joined the United States Navy in April of 1966. After attending Naval SeaBee training, he proudly served his country with two tours of duty in The Vietnam War. It was after his first tour when he came back to stateside to Port Hueneme, California where he would meet the love of his life, Brenda. The couple began dating in May of 1968 and quickly knew they were meant to be together. Jim proposed to Brenda in June of 1968 before having to leave for his second tour of duty in Vietnam. He then returned in March 1969 and married Brenda to begin their beautiful life together. Jim and Brenda then made their journey together to Buffalo, New York and began to build their family. It was during this time that Jim also attended college and became an Ironworker. He was always proud of this accomplishment and enjoyed the challenges of the trade. Jim and Brenda would have a total of four children, three sons and one daughter. Jim was always proud of his family and worked hard to not only provide for his wife and children, but to teach the important lessons of life and always encourage knowledge and patience.
