992, where they made many friends and enjoyed life together. Elsa was often ill during the last years of her life, and Jim provided tender and devoted care for her during that time. After Elsa passed away, Jim moved to Madison to live with his son and daughter-in-law Jim worked in the machine tool industry and became a sought-after master tool and die maker. During the war years he was exempt from military service due to his work being critical to the war effort. He worked for Sperry Gyroscope Company among others. He was exceptionally skilled and able to analyze and solve technical problems, and could install or repair anything. He loved to play golf, and continued to play until the age of 94. He also enjoyed many sports as a spectator, including golf and college basketball, above all the Kentucky Wildcats. Among the extended family he was famous for his dancing. He loved to dance and even in his 90s you couldn't get him off the dance floor at weddings and other events. Until the last months of his life, he loved to read for hours on end, an activity he shared with Elsa. He was a true democrat, both large and small D, and was a friend to all regardless of race, religion or economic status. Jim was able to live comfortably with the contradictions of life. He disapproved of sugar as unhealthy, but loved cake and ice cream. He was a caring father, grandfather, and friend, and his positive view of life has provided a role model for his children, his grandchildren, and his many friends, all of whom will miss him.
