I hope you can find peace in knowing what a rich, full life James had and that he now is reunited with loved ones and friends.
Take care.

Lisa and Jamie,
I am so sorry to hear about Uncle James' passing. He was truly one of the finest men I have ever known and I am proud that he was my uncle. Our world was a better place because such a kind, gentle man was in it. You ladies could have taken up a whole newspaper with all that your Dad accomplished in his lifetime, but wouldn't have room to tell how he gave of himself to his country, his family and the people he loved. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Lots of...
