Jim went on to work for Corning Glass from 1960-1963 and then for the former Dexter Hysol in Olean. He was an active member of Our Lady of Peace Parish in Salamanca, where he served as a lector, altar server, and on the Parish Council.

Jim was an avid bowler and golfer and enjoyed woodworking and bird watching. He also loved Hallmark movies, and listening to classical and Polka music. He will be remembered for wearing and showing off his wild ties and crazy socks. Jim will be dearly missed by his breakfast buddies at the Derrick City Diner and The Plaza Restaurant.

In addition to his wife, he was predeceased by one son, Michael James Glover in 1970.
