I have had the amazing honor to know and love Mr. James Dumas for 34 years. This is a gentleman that had every aspect of humanity I wish I could emulate. Incredibly hard working, humble, giving, strong yet gentle, kind and without any hesitation he would open his home for the needy. He has two of the greatest children and I know he is very proud of them. He carried many burdens at times in his incredible life but I know now he is at peace with God......What a Man what a Life!
