James moved to Florida in 1955 and was a long-time resident of West Palm Beach, where he raised his family. He relocated to Iuka, Ms., because of his job, but returned to Lake Worth, Fla., upon retiring in 2008. In his spare time, he enjoyed golfing and fishing. He always looked forward to having fish fries with his bounty. He was an amazing father and grandfather and a friend to so many. He loved going to estate sales and yard sales each week to see what goodies he could find. He loved taking family vacations to see his relatives in Tennessee and really looked forward to the annual family reunions. He was loved and will be missed by so many.

Per his wishes, there will be no service, but we will continue to celebrate his life and legacy.
