Not sure what to say?

I just ran across James's obituary and am saddened to learn of his passing. He had a perpetual smile on his face and was always so upbeat about life. God's blessings to James and family.

Jim was a lot of fun to work with at the lab, he had a great sense of humor and was a hard worker. I always missed Jim after his retirement.

My sincere prayers for the family and Ms. Shirley. Special prayers for my dear cousins Joy, Amy, and Karen in the loss of their father and my uncle. Cousins, love you dearly. Annette

Sorry to hear of James´ passing. I enjoyed chances to talk with James both at school when he would be driving our bus on a trip and in the neighborhood. He had a big, outgoing personality and I´m sure he will be greatly missed by anyone who knew him.
