His volunteer work, particularly feeding the homeless through church programs, reflected his selfless spirit and his desire to make a difference in the lives of others. Jim also contributed his time and skills to the Hearts & Hammers Club in Joplin, where he worked alongside fellow members to improve the community they all held dear. His involvement in these associations was not just a pastime but a core part of who he was—a man who believed in giving back and lifting others up.
