JAMES JR., ROBERT LEON
Jan 19, 1965-Sept 27, 2003
Loving son of Robert L. and Emily James Sr. and Arletta "Cookie" and Frank Romano. Also survived by his grandmothers; his sister Angela and brothers Kevin, Tom, Gerald, Frank and his beloved Corina and Jessica. He also left behind many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, sister-in-law, great nieces and many many friends. Robert was preceded in death by two brothers, Jerry Lee and Frank James. He loved fishing, hunting, his family and friends, but one of his main joys in life was driving a big rig, which he finally got to do. He was a member of Teamsters Union Local #150, and drove for Patron Inc. Trucking and then for Hasties Sand and Gravel until the time of his battle with cancer. Bobby had proudly turned his life over to the lord and attended Trinity Life Center Church. Bobby was a loving gentle giant with the heart of a comedian, always making people laugh, even to the end. He never turned anyone away from his door. He was deeply loved and he loved deeply. His family would like to express their gratitude to all the staff at SRMC for their love and compassion to Bobby and his family during his illness. You are always in our hearts and minds-we will see you again "Bubba". The family invites friends to attend a visitation Wednesday, October 1, 2003 from 4:00-8:00pm and funeral services Thursday, October 2, 2003 at 12:00 noon at Sunset Lawn Chapel of the Chimes, 4701 Marysville Blvd. Sacramento. Casual Attire. A gathering for the celebration of Robert's life will be held after the services at Trinity Life Center, located at 5225 Hillsdale Blvd. Sacramento, CA 95842. Flowers will be accepted or in lieu donations may be made in his name to SRMC Cancer Foundation, #1 Medical Plaza, Roseville, CA 95661.

Dear Bobby, I found out too late to be there, I am sorry that you left without one last hug. I haven't seen you in years, and I am glad that you turned your life around, so did I. I'll see you when I get there, watch over me, and I love you.

My deepest sympathy to your family. I know Bobby is at peace now and is being watched over by our heavenly father. I hope this will bring you some "peace" in these times. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
