Jim grew up in Wichita before attending St. Gregory’s Private Catholic Boys’ High School in Shawnee, Oklahoma, where he became a two-sport all-American athlete in football and basketball and developed life-long friendships. His love for his Catholic faith grew and flourished, especially during his time at St. Gregory’s. This prompted a lifetime of generous contributions to the Catholic community as well as many other deserving organizations. Jim was an astute businessman who owned and operated several building supply businesses. He enjoyed his time as a homebuilder and developer and additionally learned much from a multitude of real estate ventures and investments. Above all else, his greatest passion was for his grandchildren, who were the light of his life. His weekly visits to Kansas City as well as annual vacations imbued him with some of his most cherished memories.
