Jim loved going to Stehekin with his family, staying at their cabin and teaching the family how to fly fish. The family enjoyed playing sports, horses, and riding dirt bikes together. As the family grew, Jim loved spending time with his six grandchildren, watching their sporting events, and taking them to Stehekin.
