We were sad to hear about James passing away. Fred and I stopped by his trailer a couple of months ago when family couldn't reach him. Last month he stopped by Tutti's to show me a pic of his niece's twins. He was so happy to have the pic. That was the last time I saw him.He was one of a kind and I will miss him.
