James was also a member of the Knights of Colombus, as well as sang in the choir at St. Maryann Cope Parish (formerly Good Shepherd) for several years. James' favorite place on earth was Disney World; he was truly young at heart. He loved to play his keyboard, listen to music, and most of all he loved to be with family, and friends laughing, and joking.
