He was born in Detroit, Mich., on Nov. 22, 1925, the fifth child of Helen and Michael Hoar. In 1943, at the age of 17 and the day after his high school graduation, Jim joined the U.S. Navy and served in North Africa, Italy and France.
Returning home, he attended the University of Detroit, graduating in 1948 with a degree in business. Most of his career was spent in the machine tool industry.

He was a past president of the American Society of Machine Manufacturers and the Cutting Tool Association of America.
Jim and Patricia Ann Phelan married in Detroit on April 16, 1955, and spent their 50 years of marriage in Dallas, Boston and Connecticut before moving to Montpelier where they have lived happily since 1970. Jim was active in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul throughout his life, and loved the game of golf, even if golf didn't always love him in return.
