He also enjoyed listening to Motown music. Jim loved traveling, watching military movies, treasure hunting, and camping in his free time. Jim was always clowning around and could make anyone laugh. Family was very important to Jim and he loved spending time with them.

Hunt, wife of Ian, his grandchildren Christian Weaver, Matthew Weaver, Jackson Hunt, and Elijah Hunt, his siblings Beverly Callahan, Francis “John” Cohen, husband of Catherine, Dolores “Dory” Cohen, and Christopher Cohen, husband of Linda, several nieces and nephews, and numerous great nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by a sister, Joyce Teti.
