Very sorry for your loss. Your father's name was said many, many times when I was growing up. I remember thinking "John James" had a cool ring to it! I know I had met him, but it was probably when I was little. He will certainly be missed. Thoughts & prayers to all of his family & friends. Wanda (Patton) Lyons
