James was a member of the St. Pius Catholic Church in Pasadena, Texas over 60 years. Always attend services on Sundays and enjoyed being part of the Church.
James was a great man he loved his family and enjoyed the times he spent at their houses on Sundays and during the holidays. Every year we would go to Kellys Country Kitchen on Christmas morning to celebrate Christmas with Ma and Pa. Pa and Ma loved to go to the casino when he retired. Coushatta was their favorite place to go. His favorite thing to do was watch sports. Loved them Astros always was trading the players and the coaches. Liked watching the Texans and Rockets but his favorite was the Astros. Pa was a very special person in our lives. We tried very hard to include him on BBQ’s and events. He went to the Pasadena Town Square Mall to walk with Ma and Jimmy for years. Then when he couldn’t walk to much he would sit and talk with his friends Benny, Gene, Mike, Eddie and others through the years.
James will be greatly missed and loved. We hope his memories will bring you joy, peace and comfort. Tell stories with others to keep his memory alive.
We Love You PA
