He married Yvonne Shibley in Billings, Mt and had their daughter Darcy. He was employed as a Union Carpenter and worked for Pederson Construction where he worked on many large projects. He loved working with his hands, but the lure of the open road once again called and he began trucking for Corcoran Trucking partnering with John Corcoran on his truck. Jim moved to Deer Lodge, Mont. after marrying Betty Wadsworth. He remained with Corcoran’s until the ill health of his wife Betty forced him to retire in 2006 so he could care for her, which he did until her death in 2014.
