Jim was a person of faith and dedicated to finding humor in life. As a young man, he was an active member of the Knights of Columbus, where he devoted countless hours to charitable works supporting his local Napoleonville community.
Jim began his higher education at Auburn University, where he became a member of Pi Kappa Alpha. Then he attended Louisiana State University, where he was a proud member of the Tiger Band Drum Corp. He graduated from Francis T. Nicholls State College.

Despite the devastating effects of dementia, he retained memories of music and his family, and it is important to highlight how profoundly his sense of humor persisted.
