Uncle James was a quiet, reserved family man. His words were few and far between but when he spoke, people listened. He possessed gentle wisdom and a certain authority. Yet, he had a warm, welcoming, friendly nature. Many children- both his own and others- enjoyed his loving demeanor. He was devoted to his family. We were blessed to share the journey of life and love with him. Rest in peace Uncle James.
