Jim was born and raised in Biddulph Township. He left the family farm to become a plumber with the London Board of Education only to return to farming in 1959 when he and Janet bought a farm in Lobo Township. He worked alongside Janet until her death in 1992. He moved to Ailsa Craig in 1998 and although he was semi-retired, he continued farming and checking the crops with the help of his close friends who kept him involved.
