Jim was born October 5, 1934, the eldest of 4 brothers. He attended high school in Zionsville and worked at the local paper. After graduating, Jim served in the Army before returning to Indiana. Jim loved to talk which complimented his chosen profession in auto sales/management. He opened one of the first Porsche dealerships in Indiana, raced Porsches in the SCCA, and managed several other dealerships throughout his career.
After retiring Jim spent his free time traveling and umpiring for the Zionsville Little League. He moved to Florida for several years to enjoy the warm weather and work on his golf game before returning home to be closer to his family.

He is survived by his brothers Gary (Jill) and Bob (Betsy), his sons Dean (Michael) and Darrell (Alicia), his daughter-in-law Susan, his first wife Lois Hulley (Robert), and four granddaughters: Katie, McKenna, Meghan, and Emily.
