My prayers and condolences to James' family and close friends. My own memories of my classmate began in high school where I loved to listen to James tell stories and make quick quips of ANY life event to lighten the moment. >50 years later, James still used his vast life experiences, an unfailing memory, and those same talents to entertain and inspire others. He will be missed; God bless him.
