James was one of the good ones. He will be forever missed. James was a fan of Sinatra's version of One For My Baby . . . this verse seems fitting.
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Thank you for all of the Greek Easter picnics, the Labor Day gatherings and talking to Dean for hours about your shared appreciation for the ironic.
Rest in peace.
