Jim was drafted by the Army in 1966. While serving his county he earned two Purple Hearts in Vietnam. Jim was proud to be a Vietnam Veteran and had over 20 hats to prove it. Jim took his service very seriously and was American to the core. After leaving the Army, Jim worked as a lineman, heat and air specialist and ultimately becoming a master electrician. He was a perfectionist in everything he did and was very quick to point out electrical switches/outlets that were not straight, or at the appropriate height and the plate colors better match! Jim’s favorite pastimes included going to car shows, restoring vehicles and tinkering in his shop. He was also an avid dog lover.

A small memorial will be held at Arkansas Veterans Cemetery located at 1501 West Maryland,North Little Rock, AR on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at 10:00 A.M with military honors.
