Jamie was also very active in both schools his children attended. Serving as a coach and June Fest chairman at St. Dominic School and serving as school board member and past president at Quincy Notre Dame.

Jamie loved to be outdoors, he couldn’t wait for all the activities spring weather brought. He could always be found outside either doing yard work, washing cars, working in the garden, home improvements or cutting wood for the fireplace. He also loved planning gatherings with his extended family, Memorial Day picnics and frying turkeys for Thanksgiving.
