Jim had very strong bonds with his cousins and family members in Connecticut. Jim served in the United States Air Force from 1970 to 1990, and was stationed in Texas, Japan, Alaska, and Nebraska. He met several of his lifelong friends in the Air Force and was known to share stories of his adventures from those years. After retiring from the Air Force, Jim went to work for First Data Resources in Omaha, working in the Systems area and the Data Center. With his great sense of humor, Jim formed many friendships with his colleagues, and created more memories traveling for work, golfing or just grabbing beers. After retiring from First Data, Jim and Donna spent several years in Omaha until moving to Florida in 2016. Jim was a lifelong, very loyal New York Giants and New York Yankees fan and an avid golfer. Jim and Donna spent many years enjoying the outdoors and taking kids on camping trips each summer. He ran a tight ship at home and was very proud of Mike and Mandy.
