Jim and Mary lived in Dallas until their retirement, when they returned to Fannin County, Mary’s birthplace.
Jim’s family was his pride and joy, and he loved them beyond measures. He was a country boy at heart and enjoyed traveling, gardening, cooking, and reading. Life took a big turn for Jim and Mary, when Jim’s namesake and “Sugar Boy,” Charles, a special need child, was born. At that time, Jim declared that he believed he and Mary could be a help to Charles. From that day forward, even while battling debilitating illness, Jim’s focus on Charles remained steady.
