On July 7, 1950, James married Carol (Greer) and after taking a job at Ball Band, later known as Uniroyal, they moved to Mishawaka. After working at Uniroyal for 41 years, Jim retired. He and Carol then took up seeing the country on a Gold Wing motorcycle and rode in about 42 states, Canada and a trip to Australia forming many lasting friendships. Jim was also instrumental in the starting of the Elkhart Chapter of Gold Wing Road Riders and served as Chapter Director for 4 years. At about 75 years, he gave that up and settled down a little. He stayed active until he became ill several years ago.
Due to current public health and safety standards for COVID-19, social distancing will be enforced and face masks required.
Visitation will be on Tuesday, August 18, 2020 from 2:00pm-4:00pm at Hahn Funeral Home at 505 West 8th Street, Mishawaka, IN 46544. There will be a private burial on Wednesday, August 19, 2020 for the family.
