It was while he was stationed in Georgia that he met his wife, June, married, and settled in Cairo, Georgia. Jim was well known in the Southeast for his bird carvings and enjoyed visits from numerous friends who would drop in to his workshop to watch him carve. He loved that so many people were made happy by his carvings. He was a duck hunter, fisherman, and wildlife conservationist.
