He worked at Roadway Inc., where he retired in 2001, where he received the Million Miles Plus Safe Driving Award. He was a hard worker and continued driving for Fastrack Trucking and Morrin Farms, until his illness forced him to stop. He was diagnosed with Leukemia 3 years ago, at that time, he was told he only had weeks to live. God had other plans for Jim; his family was blessed to have him with us another 3 years. During this time, he was baptized and began his walk with the Lord.
