James was born in Escanaba on November 24, 1944, son of Raymond and Josephine Marie (Gardner) Grenier. He graduated from Escanaba High School in 1963. After high school, he joined the National Guard.

Among survivors include his sisters, Shirley (Jim) Tobatto, Patricia (Ken) Gartland, Beverly (Bill) Nault, and Janet (Dale) Bintner; along with many nieces and nephews.
