James married the love of his life Sylvia Ann Stewart, at the young age of nineteen years old. They spent the next sixty-nine years and eleven months together. They raised five amazing children. He was so proud of each one of them and their accomplishments and would often brag on how great his children were.
James started his career with Southern Pacific Railroad as a surveyor and draftsman. He later worked in the petrochemical field as a design draftsman and as a Computer Aided Design checker for various petrochemical companies. James was a member of Good Sam RV club and Escapees RV organization for almost thirty years. He had a passion for woodworking and technology. James enjoyed traveling all over the United States with Sylvia in the RV. Above all, he found his greatest joy came from spending time with his family.
