I had the pleasure of working with James many years ago at Houston Coca Cola. He could always light up a room with a great story or a well placed comment. He was always helpful and always willing to share his knowledge. May he rest in peace.

I miss James, we had many, many good times and talks at Starbucks in Humble. He always had his Styrofoam cup filled with his favorite drink, Coke Zero.
Sandra I am sorry for your loss.

James you always looked for me the 25 years we worked together all the way up to buying your vending business. Your sense of humor has rubbed off on me and that is a good thing. I will miss you my friend. Jim

I met James in the late 70's in the Soft Drink world and worked with or around him for many, many years at Coca-Cola. He was a great story teller, tons of fun to be with and around, dedicated to his family, and fiercely loyal to Coke and our intimate Coke fraternity. He will be missed but his memory will live on with many of us forever.. Lee Brillhart ( Friendswood Tx.)

I can still remember the day I first met Mr. C! From our very first conversation, I knew he was someone that I wanted to build a friendship with. He had a personality that was contagious & never at a loss for words. I truly enjoyed the many conversations about life, family, the jokes & endless laughs we shared! I know he was proud of his two sons Scott & Todd and the fine young men they had become. He often told me how much he loved his wife, Sandy, and was grateful for their many years of marriage. He said that he would not have made a very good bachelor. I know this world is a lesser place without him in it. My thoughts & prayers are with you. May God's grace give you strength during this difficult time.

We are so sorry for your loss. I did not know James but this picture leads me to believe that he was a kind, fun loving happy man who was well worth knowing. His brother Don means the world to our family as he takes such good care of my sister, Kim. I wish my family had known James. I'm certain our lives would have been enriched in many ways. Rest in Peace James and my families deepest sympathy to his family. Nicki & Gary Keene & Family

I had the pleasure of working with James for many years at Coca-Cola. I cannot think of anyone who was more loyal to the company or more committed to provide great service to his customers. My prayers go out to his family! He will be missed!

I first met Jim at our workplace, Kingwood Country Club, in May 2013. He was a kind, gentle, friendly individual that always had a smile and infectious personality. It got to be the highlight of my shift as marshal/starter when Jim, or as he liked to be called, Crenshaw, was also working. He had such a positive presence that it was easy to want to hang around with him and just talk and talk about anything. He was truly one of God's angels here on earth and he will be sorely missed. May Christ take you in his arms and comfort you for all eternity.
