James (Dad) with army buddy Sam Murry whom he spoke so fondly of..

Sergeant James H. Little USAF, 87, passed away on August 30, 2018. James was born on July 21, 1931, to the late John and Theora Little of Woodstock, Georgia. 
James was born in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1953, James was stationed in England, where he met his beloved wife Christena, a native of Ireland. They spent 64 devoted years together before her passing last year. James served in the Korean War and retired after 21 proud years of service. Later on, James and his son John, joined together as paint contractors, working together for over 25 years when in 1999 James quit working to stay at home to be with his wife Christena. 

We can proudly say that James "Dad/Papa" made a lasting impression on everyone he met with his charm, which was surpassed by the size of his heart. His kindness, wisdom and affection is what he will be remembered for most and will forever be loved by those of us he left behind. We will all miss the joy and love that he brought into our lives, and we all couldn't be more proud of him. He will be sadly missed by his son John, and devoted daughter-in-law Paula. Also survived by his son Brian Little, and daughter Dianne (Paul) Crouse. 10 grandchildren, brother, Wesley Little; sister, Sandra (Alfred) Garrett; and host of nieces, nephews and friends.

Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Christena Little; beloved son, Michael Little; Brothers, Jerry Little, Ronnie Little, John Little Jr, and Edwin Little;
