Jim again served in many leadership capacities at SWFC, including being a long serving Assistant Chief and the standing President of the Fire Department. Many would remember Jim as the ticket taker during Lenten brunches. Jim also served on the Town of Wilson Assessment Board of Review for nearly 40 years.
