Jim was born in Langdon, North Dakota and lived on the family farm in Windygates, Manitoba located in the Pembina Valley.

With an opportunity to work with Jim, I found him to be a wise, friendly, courteous, knowledgeable gentleman. He acted on behalf of an industry he loved and enjoyed in supporting the Dump Truck Association(DTA) to promote a new apprenticeship program for Truck Driver/Operators. Jim along with other members of the DTA attended numerous meetings to promote, foster and see calulated growth for the future needs of his industry. I have only praise for a man who I came to know in the time we engaged in a common interest at the time he was with us all. Jim, I know is in a better place with a whole new set of friends. My condolences to his family and close friends at this time. Jim's life and actions are a tribute to the man that he was and left us with the memory of that. - Posted by: John Wawszko (Worked trying to start an apprenticeship program for Dump Truck Operators) on: May 03, 2014
