It is with a heavy heart that I extend my deepest condolences on the passing of James. He was someone who embodied all the qualities that make someone truly special - loving, kind, friendly, funny, intelligent, thoughtful and generous. As his first wife and mother of his children, I have so many fond memories of our life together. We were childhood friends who grew up together even after marriage remained close for over 60 years. James will always hold a special place in my heart and I know he will be missed by all those whose lives he touched.
