James showed great courage and strength as he fought his two year battle with cancer. We will always remember his caring and support of our daughter Jennifer during some very difficult times. He loved our grandchildren Tyler and Taylor and when he married Pam accepted them as his own attending their sport games and cheering them on with love and pride. Pam was a very supportive and loving caregiver during his illness as was his favorite "nurse" our daughter Jennifer. We will miss his
wonderful smile and wit at our family birthday parties and gatherings.We are glad to have had him in our life.

I know James & Pam through the doctors office, where I work. Have known the two of them for quiet some time and have grown to love them both like family. Always funny, out spoken and true to himself, he'll be terribly missed. The Lord has bigger plans for him now.

James was a great guy. I only knew him for a short time when I came to love him and his wife Pam. He had a wonderful kind personality and I am glad I was his nurse. I will never forget him or his wife.
