John Robert James, Jr.

Love you Uncle John.

All of us who knew John James and received support from him benefitted from the experience and will continue to do so through our memories of him.

John was deeply interested in people and Westtown School. Although, we were not close, John actually came out to Montana to see me once. We were classmates at Westtown School. He was one who went the extra mile for other people. Tom Towe, Westtown Class of 1955, Billings, Montana

I´m sending love to Chrissie and your family

I write this for my mother, Janet Hetzel Henderson (age 90), who shares "I always felt associated with the James family". Certainly the Hetzels and the Jameses have been interconnected for generations, through Westtown friendships, marriage (Mary James to Fred Hetzel) and retirement at Crosslands. All that was important to John too and we will miss his sharp memory for ancestry! ~ Anna

A beautiful tribute to a wonderful man, John James. We are so sorry for your loss, as well as our own loss. Surely many at this weekend's Westtown Alumni Day will be missing him too. A memorial service there is so fitting. Holding all the Jameses (looked up the grammatically correct spelling in John's honor!) in Love & Light! ~ "Anno" Henderson Dietsche

Love you Uncle John .

Dear Uncle John(ny), I will miss you terribly, but your memory and legacy live on.

The description of Uncle John´s life, character and legacy in his obituary is spot on. I will always cherish Uncle John(ny)´s unique sense of humor, his interest in people, sports, and communities, and his obsession with big words and grammatical accuracy (even when certain grammatical rules have changed or been surpassed in recent decades).
I´ll miss him terribly, but I´m proud to have known and enjoyed him for so many years and to be a member of the same wonderful extended family.
