Jim was born Oct. 14, 1941, in Glasgow, Montana, to George and Bernice (Wentzel) McNulty. They moved to Troy in 1952 with eight kids and mom and dad in a 1941 Buick, hauling a little trailer behind with all their belongings.

Jim came back to Troy and married Pat Pattie in 1961. They had three children: Steve, Wade and Greg. Wade passed away in 1966. Jim went to work for St. Regis in 1961 and worked there for five years.
