Norine, Sorry for your loss. I worked with James at Walmart in the Garden Department and he was very knowledgable and very helpful to me. Always a gentleman. I will miss seeing him at Walmart. Rest in peace, James.

You have always been an inspiration to me. The way you put others first and modestly felt that this was the way to do things. You and Aunt Norine picked up and move to Florida and carved yourselves a new life in a place you wanted to be. Most people only talk doing that but you were a doer not just a dreamer.
I hope there is a cold “Old Style” waiting for you in heaven.
Rest in pease Uncle Jim.
Love,
Tom, Anne, April & Melanie
