James will be truly be missed. He always made us laugh when we would come into a restaurant where he worked. He had an awesome sense of humor with a great smile and a twinkle in his eyes when he laughed. We would often go out of our way to go to a restaurant where he was working so we could visit with him. He would always smile and say "What can I get for you, Darlin?" Over the years we got to know James very well. He loved to play with our grandson when we would bring him in and he told us stories about his 4 children. I like to think that James is watching over everyone and saying "Awww, don't worry guys, I'm having a great time up here!!"

James was just a wonderful person! Karen and I first met James at TGI Friday's years ago. James then came to Ruby Tuesday. Back then we ate at Ruby Tuesday almost everyday and got to know James very well. James was a kind, considerate person. James was great with are grandson Reese. At one time Reese took the sweeper from James and swept the carpet. James and I just sat there laughing together watching Reese. James had an outstanding work ethic! He also had a lot of common sense. He just got things done! Karen and I will miss him greatly! Thanks Jame's for all the wonderful, great memories.
