A 1985 graduate of Palatine High School, Jim was a plumber by trade. He had a kind and generous heart and was always willing to lend a hand to family or friend. Jim was very involved in his children’s lives, helping with Mikayla’s softball teams and coaching Cam’s hockey and baseball teams. Jim was an avid Blackhawk’s fan (“Go, Hawks!”) and loved playing hockey himself.

Jim had a wonderful smile, funny sense of humor, and quick wit, always making his family smile: “We will remember the happy times and send you all our love and prayers. See you in our dreams.”

The memorial service to celebrate Jim’s life will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday, June 23, at Oak Club of Genoa, 11770 Ellwood Greens Road, Genoa, IL 60135.
