| Notes |
- im, also known to friends as Buff, was often heard jokingly referring to himself a Jack of all trades, master of none. In the past he worked for Case, Holland Truck Stop and Red Rooster, and he also farmed. Jim operated a gas station at one time, and was a lifelong shade tree mechanic, working on and rebuilding on all types of vehicles, equipment, and trailers. He could plan out and often draw his projects on paper, sometimes turning one thing into something new, like the time he made an ambulance into a camper van. He most recently had built a VW Trike.
He last operated and retired from Buffingtons Rural Trash. Jim enjoyed fishing and camping, and spending time with family and sharing affection with his pets and cats. He was a proud founding member and owner of Coon Creek Ridge Riders, was a member of A.B.A.T.E. Illinois Freedom Riders Chapter, and had been a past member of the Bass Club, Flora Eagles, Moose Lodge, and Sons of the American Legion.
