Publish in a newspaper
James served his country honorably as a veteran of the Korean War, a testament to his bravery and dedication. Beyond his professional and military accomplishments, James cherished the time spent with his beloved grandchildren. He also held a lifelong love for horses, having cared for one during his youth.
He was preceded in death by his devoted wife of over 66 years, Marion (Nee: Ferguson), who departed this world in 2018, and his dear sisters, Jackie (Bill) and Geraldine.
He is survived by his sons, James W. Rose, Jr., Timothy Rose, Dennis Rose, and David Rose and his wife Tracey. He leaves behind a legacy as a loving grandfather to Brittney and her husband RJ, Kelly, Rebecca and her husband Dan, and James, III. The joy of his life extended to his role as a great-grandfather to RJ and Reagan. James is also survived by his brothers, Bud (Helen) and Thomas (Theresa), as well as numerous nieces and nephews who will fondly remember him.
