Jim’s passions were traveling, especially Europe, spending time with our family, crushing crossword puzzles, hiking and being outdoors, building puzzles, and sharing his love and resources with extra kids. He spent twenty-five of his career years as an Information Technology Manager at Wells Fargo, with his technology teammates that were more than coworkers, but a family. He leaves a legacy of love: impacting family, friends, and neighbors, near and far with an example of how to be a great dad, a true and good friend, and overall just good person.
A private memorial service will be held by Lake Forest Church.
James Funeral Home of Huntersville is serving the family.
