| Notes |
- “Jim was raised by his mother and stepfather in a small town in Missouri. He attended school until the eighth grade and helped on the farm. His first job was the Connor Hotel in Joplin, not from where he grew up. In the late 1920’s he was working in Chicago, Illinois and was there during the time of the St. Valentine’s Day massacre. He made a career of hotel work and in 1947 went with this daughter to Tulsa to be close to his ailing father. During his stay in Tulsa, Oklahoma he worked at the Mayo Hotel and was a member and moved back to Arizona where he spent several years at the Westward Ho in Phoenix. Hotel work was seasonal in Phoenix because of the hot weather so Jim would work in Las Vegas, Nevada during the summer returning to Phoenix when the season started again. He moved permanently to Las Vegas in 1957 to work at the Flamingo Hotel. He eventually became assistant manager of the hotel and remained there while the hotel was owned by Bugsy Segal of mafia fame. Upon the sale of the hotel, several of his associates and he moved to the Frontier Hotel where he worked until his retirement in 1971. Jim was an avid horse lover and loved horse racing. He also loved music and was an avid reader. His favorite books were westerns, especially those written by Louis L’Amour. He liked to cook, especially fried chicken, for his friends and family.”
