His wide range of hobbies included fishing, visiting casinos, automotive work, photography, cooking, motorcycling, attending concerts and more.

Jim was a member of several organizations, including Moose International, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles.

He is survived by his children: Angela Christie (Brian) of Coos Bay, Oregon, and Jamie Louie (Kimberley) of Vancouver, Washington; four grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; his brother Doon Louie; and Doon’s children.
