My best memories of James was that he always added an element of excitement and “unpredictability” to coming to visits with our relatives in Cadiz, Ohio. There was never a dull moment with James. He knew how to lift you up and constantly oozed confidence which you were welcome to experience as long as you were around him. “You’ll be greatly missed cousin.”
My memory of James includes his silky voice singing at local talent contests: Ladies, Ladies,Ladies why do you holler? My heart goes out to the family. Peace @ Love
