Jim was known by all for his “magnificent” white beard, which he spent many hours grooming for the ladies to drool over. Many great times were had around his table and back yard, eating, drinking, and sharing stories. He loved cooking and sharing his incredible recipes and food with his family and friends. He made his own proprietary sauces and spices, and even tried his hand at making his own limoncello. Jim was an outstanding and talented chef. One of his fondest memories was being able to travel to New Orleans where he watched the Saints play live. His favorite team was the New Orleans Saints. Jim was a sports fanatic and loved recording statistics.


He was an integral member of the “Toad Tribe” and his friendly wit will be missed by many. He loved working at The Loaded Toad, in part because he enjoyed so much being a part of the Glasgow downtown community and seeing familiar faces every day. They waited to celebrate their love for each other until this past summer where they were re-married in the back yard of their new home. In 2019, Jim and Alicia were married and together purchased The Loaded Toad coffee shop. It was here that Jim would venture into his new-found career and meet the love of his life, Alicia. In 2014, Jim worked with his sister Ann, to build, open and establish The Loaded Toad coffee shop. Jim retired from Stormer Hobbies in 2019. Jim enjoyed working with Bob and Lori and very quickly became part of a close-knit work family. In 1993, Jim returned to his hometown of Glasgow where he started his career at Stormer Hobbies. It was here that Jim and his former wife, Monique Cochran, had their two daughters, Ashley and Jasmine Frueh. After college, Jim was offered and accepted a management position at Foot Locker Inc. After high school, Jim attended college at MSU Northern in Havre, MT, where he obtained an Associate’s Degree in Business.

One of his most memorable and prized achievements was being on the starting line-up as a linebacker for the Scotties 1986 Class A Football State Champion team. Jim grew up in Glasgow and graduated from GHS as a proud Scottie in 1987. Jim became the eldest of six adopted children, Bobbi Jean, Tony, Ann, Beth and Byron. At age 4½, he was adopted into the family of Ed and Marci Frueh. Jim was born on January 21, 1969, in Libby, Montana.
