James Michael Mahaffey

James worked as a pipefitter for most of his life and could work 200 welders fitting pipe. He could build anything with his two hands and was the world’s best organizer anyone ever saw. He loved John Wayne Westerns. For the last 50 years he was a “Boss Man” and worked with many amazing people.
