James then immediately enlisted in the United States Navy where he served for 20 years and retired as Petty Officer First Class. During his time in the Navy he met and married the woman who became his life long love, Cathleen Joy Vaughan on June 14, 1980. He spent the 25 years after the Navy working with his dear friends at Bank of America and taking care of his loving family.
