Jim worked at the GM assembly line in Doraville and simultaneously at Howard's Grocery. In 1960, they had their last child Susan. In the early 60's, Jim became the proprietor of Howard's full service station. In the mid-1960's, Stewart began working with his dad. The two would go on to work together for the next fifty years. In the late 1960's Jim found another love, he became a lifelong fan of the Atlanta Braves. Although the relationship was rocky at times Jim was a true fan, and he passed this passion for baseball onto his three children. Jim was a wonderful husband and father.
