Wedding With The Executive Girlfriend

While working in the Weather Channel, Jim meets his first love and wife, Tamra Cantore.

The nuptial ceremony was held on October 6, 1990. 

The couple has remained silent about other details of their wedding and has not made their wedding photos public to date.

Ex-Wife Resiliency Over Parkinson's Disease

Jim and his wife were delightfully living their life until a devastating moment came and ruined Tamra's normal life afterward.

 In the late 1990s, when she was in her forties, she found that she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. 

It was the worst time where there is no hope for treating the disease, but the reality did not crush her. 

She rather chooses to turn her life in a new inspiring way when the meaning and value of her life are fading away from her. 

Jim's ex-wife, Tamra resiliency over Parkinson's disease, became an inspiration to others.
