Jim was born in Cleveland, Ohio on October 26, 1939, son of Lester Prutton and Kathryn Prutton (nee Welty) and grew up in Bay Village, Ohio.  Educated at Case Western Reserve, Jim became a professional chemical engineer, working in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Alabama, Texas, and many locations across the world, often helping to establish production plants and facilities.
