Jim is the brother of Harvey "Mr Steeler" Aronson and shares a common mark of glory with his sibling: a Steelers tattoo (only Jim's is MUCH, MUCH BIGGER).
Jim's first Steeler memory is watching Terry Bradshaw hold the clipboard for Joe Gilliam, wishing that the southern boy would get another chance to start, and when he did, ooh boy, the times they were-a changing. Jim has seen the Steelers three times in New York, once in Baltimore, as well as in Pittsburgh. He has met Levon Kirkland at the Hall of Fame, where he basked in the glory of the Holy Church of the Steelers inductees.
Jim is on his third marriage and he thinks he finally made the three point conversion, as his current spouse is both learning and appreciating the life of being a Steeler wife. She attended the Steelers-Jets game with him this year, and was officially inducted into the Steeler Nation. Heck, even his dog Misha is a Steeler fan!
Jim has a five-year old son, Jeremy who was born (he thinks) with black and gold in his veins, as he already is a big fan. He knows the fight song, has the jersey, and anyone who doesn't wear our colors on the field...
When people in New York see Jim's tattoo, they always ask, "didn't that hurt?" Jim says "A Super Bowl trophy tattoo is worth a every bit of pain." He just laughs it off, and makes plans for more Steeler artwork. When he dies, Jim's dream is to be covered in Lombardi Trophies!
