worked in tool and die. In 1974 he designed and built his own car crushing 
machine which he operated from 1974-1999 and his son Ted working alongside of 
him from 1982 until they sold the crusher. Jim enjoyed antique tractors, 
especially the antique tractor pulls, boating on Lake Michigan and deer 
hunting. He also loved attending Belding High School football games, 
traveling to the U.P. in a motor home with his family to watch the playoffs. 
Jim also went to all of his granddaughter; high school basketball games and 
later when McKenzie played basketball at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids. He 
also enjoyed the fun times he spent time shopping with his daughters Kelly 
and Shawn. While Jim was known to have strong opinions he valued his 
friendships and would do anything to help his friends. He will be greatly 
missed by his family and friends.
