An employee of DuPont in Wilmington, Jim was especially aware of safety procedures and the preservation of the environment. A curious mind provided him with an interest in the stock market, politics, science and antiques. His favorite tool was the 'C' clamp. Being an avid hunter and fisherman, there were always great stories to be told. Jim's favorite expression was "Everyday is an adventure" and he lived each day to the fullest.
