While in NJ, he was a partner at the law firm of Kein, Scotch, Pollatschek and Iacopino. Jimmy cherished his family time at his shore house teaching his children to sail, swim and fish. He served as Commodore of the Shore Acres Yacht Club. His winter weekends were spent on the ski slopes of New Jersey, Canada and New Hampshire with his five children. There was nothing he loved better than an interesting conversation on a chairlift. He was an active member of the Over 70's Ski Club for many years.
In 1976, Ike and Lorraine moved their family to Blodgett Landing, in Newbury, NH. Ike took a hiatus from his law practice and ran Ike's general store.
