He later taught in the Wako public school system and he also performed document translation. Jim loved teaching and was always popular with his students. He was an avid amateur photographer and travelled frequently in the Far East. Jim’s favorite pastime was cooking, and he would often call asking for recipes, like “Mom’s Chili.” Jim is survived by his sister Patricia (David) Galica and brother Michael (Nancy Knoll-) Gartner of Oshkosh, nieces Ann (Ethon) Krueger, and Catherine (Joshua) Kohlman, Elyse (Richard) Discher, and Lesley Landgraf, aunts Mrs. Dorothy Jungwirth and Mrs. Anna Smith, and uncle Mr. Edward Jungwirth, as well as numerous cousins and friends.
