Jim later graduated from ISU. While at Iowa State, he met the lovely young Karen Sweeney.

Even though their relationship parted, they still remained close and she was able to spend this last journey with him alongside their children. James Harold Hanner (named after his grandfathers) loved the game of baseball and enjoyed watching all other sporting events if he wasnt playing them. Of course, Iowa State was always the team to watch! He enjoyed his Harley, playing golf and time with his family. He was a Cub Scout while young as well.

He was most recently employed with the Hilton in Las Vegas until moving over to the Gold Coast where he was employed at the time of his passing.

In death, he rejoined his father Darrell who died in 1978, his brother David who died in 1982, and grandparents Harold and Lura Dobson and J.B. and Mary Hanner.
