He had been vending for about 40 years; at the Main Event for about 30 years- and was one of the fi rst vendors with Howard Armstrong. When Ceena and Jim got together they stayed at the Main Event until Norm closed the area. They retired after Jim's triple by- pass. Ceena went to work for the Time Three Family Restaurant and Jim did yard sales on the weekend with his best buddy Ken Gunder- son. They called themselves the Two Grumpy Old Men and they had a ball together! Ceena said, "Jim was my rock; he pushed me into taking over the res- taurant when Carl and Louise offered it to me. He was he was beside me all the time and we did everything to- gether." He has two daughters; Ma- chelle Hankes from Seattle area and Stacy Wooley from Monroe, Louisi- ana. There will be a celebration of life ceremony at the cemetery on his birthday of January 4, 2021. Check Quartzsite Chatter Facebook page for more details. "Thank you all; he will be greatly missed."
