James made work fun. He was always giving me a hard time and joking trying his best to keep a straight face. Above all he was genuinely a great guy. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.

Uncle Jim was nothing but a great person inside and out and will be greatly missed by everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with Glenna, Allison, and Abern in this tough time. I hope you all can find comfort in some way. Love you all, Denise and Christian.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.


I will just say James was very "SPECIAL"  to Me in alot    ways he reminded  me of my Daddy. Such a card always cutting jokes and trying to keep a straight face. But on the serious side of him, He LOVED his Queenie and family but of course he would joke about everyday things about her and his family too. He LOVED her cooking, but always loved to go out to dinner with his family. Oh and he was a penny pincher too..( lol ) he would always tell me about when he got a good deal. To sum it all up he was "Our One Of  Kind "  and we will miss him everyday..but we have alot of memories we can talk about each day and remember him by. So glad he was apart if my life.. See you in Heaven James!

James my pal my buddy most of all my friend as we shared so many years together at work enjoying what we did by enjoying each other most of the time, Regrets to his family and all who new him as GOD has called yet another one of the good guys home. RIP James........yours truly Ted

Some of my fondest memories in life are moments I spent laughing with James at work. One of a kind! He was a good man and he'll certainly be missed! I'll see you again one day! I pray that his family, friends and Lowe's family will feel the peace and comfort that comes from God.

Mr. James was the very first person I met when I started at Lowe's. I was sitting in the break room and here he comes whistling  then pulls up a chair right next to me and says " you must be new" Then he says you got to have a cracker with me if your new. So that was are thing we always had a peanut butter cracker together. He would always ask me how I was doing  because my husband is a very sick man. I'm so sorry for your loss and will miss my dear friend. Rest in peace Mr. James

My prayer to the Family of James Hayes.I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. James  Hayes was a great co-worker that I enjoyed working with and I will miss him. See you on the other side Big Papa. Love Simi
