"Coupy" and Jim thoroughly enjoyed dancing, particularly square dancing, as active members of the Whirl-a-Ways, Cast-Offs and Mountaineers square dance clubs.
Jim loved jazz music and regularly attended performances at jazz clubs and concerts with his family. He supported the numerous sporting events and activities of his children and grandchildren. He was an avid fan of all the Colorado sports teams and enjoyed going to Rockies games with his family.
