It was my pleasure to have known and worked with James, he was a good man. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
I saw James every Sunday at 7:00 a.m. mass at St Raphael’s Catholic Church. I considered him a good personal friend. He was kind and giving and loved his family and friends, and fishing. He loved his family and it was fun listening him talk about his son Lewis, his wife and those grandkids. I will miss him very much..
