Personal note from James family

We say goodbye to a wonderful man, a devoted grandfather, and a proud veteran. Thank you, Grandpa, for being the good and steady presence in our lives—for loving us in your quiet, gentle way, and for living life exactly as you wanted to. You showed us what it means to be kind, to be patient, and to stay true to yourself.

Your sweetness and warmth touched everyone who knew you. You carried your experiences with grace, and you shared your love freely—whether through a smile, a story, or simply being there when we needed you.

We are grateful for every moment, every memory, and every lesson. Thank you for the life you lived, for the love you gave, and for the example you set. We will hold you in our hearts always.
