A.K.A. "Bop"
James William Jamerson was born on Oct. 28, 1959 to Virginia and William Jamerson. The 7th child born to this union. Bop lived in Canton all his life. A graduate of McKinley High School, James was a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan and a New York Yankees fan. James enjoyed playing basketball and playing cards.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. I knew the Jamerson siblings during our teenage years. They were liked by all who knew them.
