Deb I am so sorry for your loss, I can not say I know how you feel because I do not and hope I never do. God be with you Deb and give you the strength you will need.xxxooo
James you are one of a kind and I’m glad I got the chance to get to know the man my parents had always talked about. Not many of my other cousins had the opportunity to spend the time with you and I’m thankfull for the time we had together. You were the true working man and I have taken so.much from all that you taught me about being a hard worker. Here is a photo of the time you came to town and treated me and my dad to tigercats home game with incredible seats at the 50 yard line an unreal experience I’ll never for get. You will be missed by many cuz. Rest in paradise James. Oskee wee wee!
I’m sorry for your loss, he was far to young.
Some of my best memories from highscool were with James. After losing contact 37 years we finally had a chance to catch up. He was still the funny , charming guy I was so fond of. My condolences to the family. God Bless.
So sorry for your lost. I will always cherish his great sense of humor and compassion. He was always there to lend a hand and never forgot the small things people did for him. Jim your heart was always in the right place and I will miss you. Fly like an eagle as you journey home.
James and I were close friends for several years. Closer than than most people will ever get to each other. So close that his love hurt but in a good way that you never forget. It’s that way for me but I think it was just normal for James, that’s just the way he was and that’s just the way he viewed friendships and family, so intensely that it hurt but never forgotten.
My vision of James’ passing is of James grabbing death in a bear hug and saying to him “hang on buddy we are going for a ride” and death having a funny look on his face and saying this isn’t how it is supposed to work you should be afraid of me and James saying I have never been afraid of anything in my life why would I start now so shut up and hang on we are going for a ride besides you came to my house looking for me.
Good night James, say hi to Ted and I’ll see you soon.
April, Trevor and family…my sincere condolences at your time of loss. This has been a year of sadness for so many this year. I hope the coming joy of a healthy birth will lift your spirits and allow you some peace in your grief. Love always Shirley.
My prayers go out to James and his family. Wanted you to know that James was such a awesome person. I going to miss our weekly talks and the kindness and respect you showed.. Thanks for sharing your life with me my friend..
