Mr James was such a sweet soul, my first hug of the morning before going to work, he was always there @ 6am , and if he wasn't at the door he'd be close around and as soon as he saw me and I saw him we'd head towards each other for our hug, he felt like family and wil be missed, going in walmart first thing in the morning wil never be the same, sending prayers for family and friends, cause his passing will leave a hole in our heart's, I know he's up there dancing with the angels

He is at peace now standing beside saint peter as they enter the pearly gates. Job well done that on this earth , pop.
