Jim was a Truck Driver for many Companies including Super Value, Chizek Transport and Tweet Garot. Jim was an avid Golfer spending his entire life golfing with childhood friends Jim and Gary Mert and enjoyed wood working spending his last years distressing furniture for his son Pat Drury's Restoration Business. Jim took great interest in his grandchildren, helping raise them, teach them to drive and proper etiquette in the use of profanity.
