Jim’s greatest passion were his grandchildren, and he loved spending time with them every chance that he got, especially attending their sporting events.

In addition to Denise, Jim is survived by his daughter Nicole Koenig, wife of Scott, Shillington, and sons Nathan J. Krick, York, and Brandon M. Krick, Shillington, and the lights of his life, grandchildren Cobie, Branson, Taylor, Lance, Tyler and Siena.
