He was an enthusiastic jazz and rock drummer and an avid football fan, passionate about the Philadelphia Eagles and the Ohio State Buckeyes. He is predeceased by parents Jacob W. and Mary S. Schaefer and is survived by sister Joanna (Fiori) and brother Scott. A celebration of Jim’s life is planned for this summer.
