More about the Monaghan Brothers.

In my other post about the auction I went to, I told you about finding a file cabinet full of Michigan Militia info. Found this with a lot of info on Jim Monaghan and it says he was the chaplain for the Michigan Militia. Also about how he sold his half of Domino's for a 1959 VW and it cost him over a half billion dollars later on.

Jim Monaghan quickly sold his half of Domino's for a used car

The fates and fortunes of the two brothers who started Domino's couldn't be more different. While Tom Monaghan eventually amassed a huge amount of wealth, and a lifestyle to go with it, Jim Monaghan lived out his life as a working-class everyman. When he walked away from Domino's in 1961, he was working full time as a mailman (via The New Yorker). However, it looks like that didn't turn into a full-time career for Jim, who passed away in October of 2020 at age 81. According to his obituary, he spent the 1970s working as a security guard, and then worked as an electrician for the Ypsilanti School District throughout the '80s and '90s. Jim was also remembered for maintaining a variety of hobbies — his obit described him as "a machinist, inventor, ham radio enthusiast, Constitutional pamphleteer, steamboat captain, engineer, and a chaplain for the Michigan Militia."
