Jim graduated from Arnett High School in 1952 and served in the U. S. Army, 1955-1957. Jim was a seismic engineer and traveled extensively on all the continents. He took pride in his work and the friendships he built.

Jim was thoughtful, quietly generous, and had great curiosity as well as a wonderful dry wit. Outside of work, Jim was a man of many interests. He enjoyed gardening, reading, dogs, museums, estate sales, and he relished time with his friends. He was a longtime member of the Holy Family Cathedral Parish in Tulsa.

Jim is survived by his many nieces and nephews. His ashes will be interred in the family plot at the Harmon Cemetery.
