They moved their family to California where James received his Master’s degree in accounting from Santa Clara University. Timothy had 2 girls Taylor and Megan and Matt had 2 boys Matt Jr and Alex.
James loved to travel all over the world and never met a stranger. James also had a large love for many types of food from all over the world and spread that love to his family. James was also a preacher and was very much a part of his Church family at Church of the Christ churches.
