He then held the position of superintendent of the Mid-Maine Solid Waste Association, retiring eight years ago. Jim was very active in his community and had many friends, evidenced by his Friday night get togethers in his spacious garage. In his younger years, he was in 4-H and the Boy Scouts.

His hobbies included golfing, doing ground-up restorations of corvettes, and woodworking. He had a full woodworking shop where he turned out many beautiful pieces of furniture, as well as small gifts for his daughters and grandchildren. In the winter, he loved snowmobiling and trail grooming for the snowmobile club. Jim is survived by his wife, Sandra; two daughters, Marcy King and husband, Trampas, and Robin Pyrzyk and husband, Walt; as well as the lights of his life, his five grandchildren, Nicholas Clukey and wife, Rachel, Samuel and Shelby Pyrzyk, Regan and Annika King.
