I just heard the news about James. My husband woked with him at Bristol Steel and I worked with him at Bristol Compressors. I'm so sorry to hear of him passing away, and yet I know that he loved his Lord and that he is living like never before! I remember him as a "Gentle Giant" of a man. We often discussed the Bible and showed each other verses that we were studying and shared our insights. I'll always remember him coming to my cubical asking if I had "any wise words of wisdom". He was such a good kind man. I know that he will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with his family. Mike and Laura Walls
