Jim cherished the joy of many genres of music through live performances, from intimate gigs to grand arena concerts. His love of music spanned over his lifetime while still keeping up to date with finding new sounds and new bands. His love for music was matched only by his devotion to sports. Whether cheering on his beloved Detroit Tigers or following the highs and lows of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jim was always on top of the most recent top sporting events.
