James was a warm, caring man who always had a smile. He would come to hear the band I sang in. He was a marvelous dancer and was in great demand from the ladies. I would see him down at Food City and ask how he liked the show. His reply was always "I had a good time!" I miss him so much. I am so pleased that he accepted Jesus as his savior! I am so looking forward to seeing him again in the next life. God bless his family and friends during these trying times.

James always had a smile for everyone and a hunting or fishing story to tell. He was a special friend to everyone he meet. My prayers for the family and his friends. And his coworkers at the garage. I always looked forward to going and getting in inspection stickers and getting to talk to him and hear how his hunting seasons had gone.
