James was born on April 23, 1931 and passed away on Friday, October 14, 2016. James was a resident of Erie, Pennsylvania at the time of his passing. He received his degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. He served in the United States Airforce during the Koran War. He was married to Jean.
My father was a tough son-of-a-gun! He was raised in the Brushton-Homewood section of Pittsburgh! He took me through there in later years and insisted that I locked the car doors! He had to fight just to walk to school! Simultaneously he was a generous, caring and understanding man who had an acute intellect for logic and justice!
I miss him every day! And I am sure my father's in heaven!

Lynn,
I was so sorry to hear of your Father's passing. Somehow I missed it in the paper and my Mom just told me. I know how hard it is to lose your Dad. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Take Care,
