In 1973, Jim married Joyce Stockhausen and together, they raised three children. Jim later was married to Joanne Nehring in 1997 and enjoyed spending time with her two children – Sara & Joe. Jim ran a catering business for many years and loved talking with customers. He cherished being outdoors hunting and fishing, especially on the Spirit Flowage with his friend Dennis Loften. He also greatly enjoyed camping, traveling, playing cards and riding his motorcycle, but his grandchildren brought him the greatest joy.

Jim was a proud member of AA and attended meetings regularly. Jim was also a member of Vietnam Vets/Legacy Vets Motorcycle Club with the MidWest Region. He belonged to the American Legion Post 452 in Spirit and was a faithful member of Spirit Baptist Church where his dear friend Duane presides.

Five siblings – Bonnie (Mike) Wagner of Newburg, Marilyn (Doug) Findlay of Oconomowoc, Linda (Mario) Maenza of Germantown, Robert Wiegert of Jefferson City, MO & Debra (Jim) Jenkins, McMinnville, TN. Jim is further survived by his three beautiful grandchildren, Katelynn, Logan, and Ashlynn Bourke. A former brother in law and dear friend Dennis Loften, his former son-in-law Brian Bourke, his God Children – Kris Thompson & Matthew Loften and a loving friend Jan Pinter.

Jim was greeted in heaven by his parents, sister – Janet, first wife – Joyce & beloved and deeply missed grandson – Connor James Bourke.
