Jim was preceded in death by his parents, and brother, David E. Huffman.

 

Jim was hard-working and believed in showing up for the people he loved.  He was the kind of person who would do anything for you.  He enjoyed golfing, camping, razor riding, and was always up for a trip to a Chinese buffet.  His happiest times were with his family and friends whether working on a project or having a few beers in the garage.  He was his grandchildren’s biggest fan – never missing an opportunity to support them at a game, performance, or event.

 

Jim will be forever loved and deeply missed.
