He enjoyed many years in southern New Hampshire with his family before returning to Maine.
Jim loved his daughters, their dogs and Fanta orange soda. A lifelong diehard Patriots fan, he loved reminiscing over games at the old Foxboro Stadium. He enjoyed fishing, The White Mountains, reading the newspaper and taking daily walks. He loved music, especially Jimmy Buffett, Frank Zappa and Luke Combs.
