Jim immigrated to the United States in 1951 and married his wife, Emorfia in April 1958. They had two children, George and Maria. He worked at Great Lakes Steel until his retirement in 1989.

In his final years he spent time helping to care for his granddaughters, Demi and Nadia. Jim left this life the way he lived, with conviction and on his own terms.
