James was well educated not only with school but self-motivated to teach himself. He was involved in so many things.

What he loved the most was writing books to show that truth matters and did this by using scripture only. He called it: A Better Bible Study Method. He was extremely passionate about this.

James was the best husband anyone could ask for. He was very romantic and would sing to me often. He was very light on his feet and the grandkids would catch us dancing in the kitchen. He helped raise 3 of our grandchildren and loved them as his own. He had so much love to give.

He came from a big family with 5 sisters and a lot of nieces and nephews. He loved going to Illinois to visit the family.  When he went at Christmas time, he would arrive singing "I'll Be Home for Christmas" by Elvis. James made a huge impact on so many people. Not only from his school days and family but through his Bible study books he wrote. He is loved very dearly by so many
