Jim retired after 35 years as a Corrections Officer, spending the majority of those years at Wyoming Correctional Facility. Jim loved the outdoors, especially the Adirondacks where he enjoyed hiking, fishing, and camping with his family. He enjoyed spending his days with the love of his life, Diane, and his beloved dog, Millie, at their home which Jim referred to as their “little piece of heaven.” His greatest joy was the deep love he had for his family. He loved being a grandfather and doing everything with his best buddy, Zander. Jim loved talking to people and made everyone he was around feel like family, something he carried over to Gateway Home where he and Diane volunteered. He was known by many as the “wreath man,” making Christmas wreaths for over thirty years for craft shows and for family.
He is survived by his beloved wife; Diane (Helm) Weber of Attica; children Kimberly (Christopher) Travale of Attica, Cory (Emily) Weber of Varysburg; siblings Bradley (Amy) Weber of Castile, Eileen Weber of NH; sister-in-law Darlynne Weber of Attica; brothers-in-law Neil (Mary) Helm of SC, Gary Helm of Varysburg, Jay Helm of Varysburg and Keith (Lori) Helm of PA; his grandson Zander Travale, along with several nieces and nephews.
