Son of John and Edna Cheek Mooney.
Growing up he shared his childhood with four sisters. As a teenager, he moved to Rochester with his mother. In 1960 Jim graduated from Rochester High School. While in high school he acquired a great skill set with automobile body shop and restoration classes.

On May 13, 1972, in Rochester, Jim and Nancy Huntley were married. They shared 46 years of life’s adventures. As the patriarch of the family he was the proud father of three, grandfather of of eight and blessed with eight great-grandchildren.

As a skilled tool and dye maker, Jim worked for multiple corporations. The last 17 years he was in tool and dye at Federal Mogul in Leiters Ford. Later Jim began his dream job, as the grounds keeper superintendent at the Round Barn Golf Club at Mill Creek. With meticulous efforts and a keen eye for perfection, Jim restored his shiny blue 1948 Chevrolet Business Coupe to mint condition.

Jim was a loyal member of the Whippoorwill Community Church. Later in life, Jim took up the game of golf. Since 1985, for the next 24 years he and his golfing pals annually traveled to play golf at world class courses at Myrtle Beach and Sumter, South Carolina. Many memories were made with his kids and grandchildren as Jim served as the speed boat captain, pulling them skiing and tubing over the sparkling waters of Lake Manitou.
