Frank with all his brothers and sisters. Left to right: Frank, Miriam, Emlyn, Diane, Christine, Roy and Carole.

Sean, your dad made a huge impact on me when he served as a small group leader in our student ministry. It didn’t take long for me to realize that he had his own unique way of leading—one that made sure the boys actually understood why they believed in Jesus.

I visited his class for about three weeks before finally asking, “So… are you ever planning to teach the curriculum we gave you?” He just laughed and said, “Wes, that’s good stuff, but I want these boys to know that Jesus is actually worth believing in!” At that point, I figured resistance was futile, so I stopped trying to rein him in and just enjoyed small group myself.

He talked about creation, the flaws of other religions, and probably would’ve tackled quantum physics if the boys had let him. But through it all, he made faith real. Super thankful to have known him—he truly left an impact that won’t be forgotten!

Frank was and always will be an inspiration in our lives.  We are so thankful that we got to meet and become good friends with the James family.  There Are so many memories that we cherish .  Way too many to share.   We are very proud that Frank and Jean and Daniel have come into our lives.  And shared a part of our life journey with us.  Thank u Frank for your understanding and your knowledge.  But mainly Frank for living us unconditionally.  We love u . We will miss u til we meet again
