In his younger year’s he was an avid coon hunter and raised grand champion coonhounds, always had a good rabbit and bird dog. To say he caught a boat load of fish would be an understatement, caught some monster catfish one 69 lbs. and a 103 lbs. out of the Ohio River. Jim was happy when he had a rod and reel in hand but most of all when he could be with his grandchildren.
