His sister, Susan (Paul) Legaj, seven grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews also mourn his passing. Jim, a member of Zeta Chi fraternity, graduated with a B.A. in Music Education from Michigan State Normal College and went into music retail in 1953. He worked at Carty's Music until buying the business in 1973, eventually moving the business to its final location on Hewitt Road. Working with his wife and children, he cheerfully provided instrument sales and service along with sheet music and musical supplies until the business closed in 2005. He played many instruments himself and lent his talents to many different combos, bands and pit orchestras, mainly playing his upright bass.
