Sorry to hear about James. He was my second cousin and I grew in the same neighborhood. His grandmother was Lillie Stokes Hardee who was my daddy's sister. My brother and I are the only Stokes' of this generation still living. We are both in poor health but we each have a son. My son is Henry Cell Stokes who is Gary Hardee's age. My brother has a son younger, Shannon Paul Stokes. We saw James in Charleston some years ago selling his mini donuts! It was great to see him!

Sorry to hear about James. James and I we're Grade and High School classmates in the Kinston area. We did things together in HS. The last time I saw him was probably 10 to 12 years ago in Charleston, SC. He cooked and sold small doughnuts at the local craft display in the Kings Street Park. I was thinking about him recently and went to Charleston in hopes to see him again. I am sorry that I didn't go earlier!

I am saddened to hear about James. His mother was my dad's sister.I had not seen him in many years, but thought of him often.We are related through his mother's Ipock line which I have researched back to the 1700's.He was devoted to his mother who loved him dearly.I am sending love and prayers to all of you...I am on Facebook if anyone is interested in his Ipock ancestry...God bless you in this sad time.
