Jim started his career early in life at North Star Hardware. He was a man of many trades including farming, snowmobile sales, bulldozing, mechanic and body work.
His adventurous attitude, happy demeanor and hard work ethic made him a wonderful person to know and spend time with. He enjoyed mornings at McDonalds and Front Street Inn with friends, mowing the lawn, carving and wood burnings, dancing and music and working on any project he could find. He enjoyed traveling out West, winters spent in Florida with friends and time back at the pond.
Preceding him in death were his parents, sisters Madonna Sease, Mary Ann Easterling, half-brother William (Bud) Jefferson Dull, half-sisters: Kathyrn Grimm, Edith Montgomery, Gertrude Schipper.

Also surviving with many memories are his daughter Pam (Nick) Ruchty of Naples, Florida; grandchildren: Emily Ruchty of Cleveland and Ashley (Sean) Lawyer of Oxford, England; his special grand puppy: Zoe; and numerous nephews, nieces, cousins, and extended family.
