Mr. Barron you truly knew James well.  I met James many years ago through an acquaintenance of his which was my aunt.  From then on he was my Uncle James. He was the most giving and fun loving person.you will know. Yes He did love to hunt, and fish and traveled all over the world.  But he had a side of compassion and care.  That smile and laugh could light up the world. I will miss him greatly but my thoughts and memories of him I will never forget.  He told me one thing "I only know good people" and I believe that to be true. May your skies be blue and waters smooth.  With love
Brenda and C.H. Parker

My husband, Marvis Biggs, started following James in his boat when he 1st discovered fishing the GA. coast.  James confronted him and offered to show him how to fish the area.  That was 40 yrs. ago and they've fished together ever since.  When we married James had no qualms about telling me when I was making a mistake.  He'll be greatly missed us and many of our friends who grew to know him.  His love of family and friends was abundant.  James (Cap'n Cash) will be greatly missed and I'll always think of him in early morning runs out through the Brunswick waters.(Marvis and Ellen Biggs)

Shellie, George and family, Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers today. God bless you.

I started fishing with James McVeigh right after I turned 18.Little did I know at the time that I would have the pleasure of fishing and duck hunting with him for the next 42 years.We had lots of great times together over the years as I am sure did many others who knew him and fished and duck hunted with him.His knowledge of the local waters was legendary and the memories and stories about him could easily fill a book.He was an avid sportsman and man's man in every sense of the word.The Altamaha has lost one of it's true  heroes and greatest fans.While the extensive knowledge he had of the area may be lost forever, the fond memories of this great man will live on forever in my mind and countless others every time I think back to those early mornings in Cowpen and Honeygall Creeks looking for the telltale ripples of ducks around the next curve or pull up on an oyster bar at Egg Island or the Breakthrough knowing that the trout and bass will be there if James says they are.Rest easy my friend.We will miss you but thank you for all you taught me and for all those special memories of a life well lived.

I had the pleasure of caring for this wonderful man. He expressed his love for his family on a daily basis and always thought of them (especially jenny) before even himself.  He was a sweet, caring, gentle man whose words and wisdom I will never forget. He will always have a place in my heart.
