He returned to Toledo in 2021.

Jim was a Home Builder in the Northwest Ohio area and enjoyed creating dreams for his special clients. He was known as a giving soul who found great joy in helping others, especially children. Jim, with his brother Dick and dozens of suppliers, built three homes for Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northwest Ohio and funded over 100 wishes for local children suffering from life-threatening illnesses.

Jim had a gift of never meeting a stranger and would approach anyone in a store, at dinner, or a special event that was a good listener. His humorous stories left folks laughing or shaking their heads. With a heart and a smile that was always bigger than life, he was a kind soul that was always excited to share advice to all that knew him. His legacy will continue with his remarkable family and memories of him are sure to bring a heartfelt smile forever.
