Jim is survived by sister Susan Phillips , nephew Andrew Phillips ,and niece Erin Lauinger, all of Minneapolis.
Jim's sister, Susan, recalls: “We were raised in Illinois. The family enjoyed many Cubs games at Wrigley Field. Living in Minneapolis and Portland didn’t deter his dedication to the Cubs. I recall him sharing the fact that he had an *alert* set on his cell phone, which would send him a message when the Cubs scored a run on game days. Those *alerts* were received happily and discretely during many business meetings. Jim was a Chicago Cubs fan from age 7 until his death. It was a great thrill to watch the Cubs win the World Series in 2016!”
