His hobbies included hybridizing hostas and daylilies, fishing, hunting, and socializing with friends. He spent most of his time at his acreage where he enjoyed outdoor activities, nature, plants, birds, and taking in the outdoors with his friend Bob Wassmer.
James was a skilled craftsman and built his house on Lake LeAnn, entirely by himself, where he later retired.
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Marita Dishon; children, Stacey Dishon, Steven Dishon, and Christopher Dishon; grandchildren, Lacey (Joseph) Rohde, Samantha Dishon, Jacob Dishon, Alivia Dishon, Georgia Dishon, and Thomas Dishon; 3 great-grandchildren; 1 great-great grandchild; brother, Harold Dishon; and sister, Gail Mouhanis.
