James will be remembered for his many friends and social gatherings, his family dinners, his crazy jokes, his enjoyment watching the 49ers and Giants games and so much more. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. The family would like to thank Michael, Wayne, Bob and Debbie who were good friends and neighbors to both James and Jeannie. They would also like to thank the staff at The Windham and Athena Hospice Care in making his final days as comfortable as possible. In lieu of flowers the family would request a donation to your favorite charity.
