A devoted father and grandfather, Jim loved the Lord and his family more than anything. His grandchildren knew him as Ja-ju (from Polish “dziadziu” for grandfather.)

Jim graduated from Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Shortly after he attended the University of Central Arkansas. He was an entrepreneur of many successful businesses. During his working life, Jim owned his own business, Dziga Delivery, in the healthcare industry.
