He was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, the son of William J and Victoria (MacKeil) Gosse. Jim was a graduate of Lynn English High School, Class of 1949.

He graduated from the University of New Mexico with a degree in Electrical Engineering and earned his Masters Degree in Computer Science at the University of New Haven.

In 1979, Jim and his wife Caroline bought a house near Little Squam Lake in Ashland, where his entire family enjoyed many winter and summer activities. Jim was an avid skier and was an Ambassador at Tenney Mountain. He enjoyed jogging, water skiing, walking, and stopping to talk to everyone along the way. He loved to play bridge and cribbage, especially with his granddaughters. He had a passion for Corvettes, owning four over his lifetime. He was a die hard Patriots and Red Sox fan, even attending the 2007 World Series. Jim was a member of the Dupuis Cross Post #15 in Ashland and a member of the Rotary Club in Connecticut.
