Family Life
In 1992 Jim Babka went on a blind date. His date, Susanne DiPuccio, worked at the same company as a business associate. A year later, they were engaged. And in March 1994, they were married.
The Babkas lived in Akron, Ohio as Jim tried a number of business, most notably as a licensed realtor and a real estate investor/landlord. In 1996 the couple had a daughter, Jessica. In 1998 they had a son, Stephen. And almost exactly a year later they had another son, Andrew.
Each of the children has been homeschooled. Jim and Susanne are committed Christians with Wesleyan and Anabaptist leanings, who have been active in church. Jim taught an adult Sunday school class for four years.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or life:
“Being so wrong about her makes me wonder now how often I am utterly wrong about myself. And how wrong she might have been about her mother, how wrong he might have been about his father, how much of family life is a vast web of misunderstandings, a tinted and touched-up family portrait, an accurate representation of fact that leaves out only the essential truth.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
