James,

My darling love- I couldn’t figure out why I had not heard from you. You had not responded back to me. I guess I am a little slow. I am heart broken. I can’t believe you are gone. I will miss you forever and a day my sweet friend. Thank you for being my friend, my love and just one of my favorite people. Rest my dear, I will always love you. 

Maria

Oh my sweet James! How I am going to miss you!  You were always there for me. I knew I could always count on you for advice, support, a laugh or to share when we went to Otis Cafe to torture each other. I was trying to find our photo from there. You were such a great friend, father and listener. I hope my Grammy met you at the gates. She would have told you that if I loved you, she would too and would happily show you around heaven. I will always miss you and love you for always❤️

His signature finger!  He is and always will be in a special place in my heart!!

This is just one of James on a stop we made when he helped me move to Syracuse NY  We were so tired! Lol but he was a great sport about the whole trip! 5 dogs and us in a car!  What an experience! 

Hello I'm so sorry for your loss. I last talked to him on May 30th. I had a bad feeling when I couldn't get ahold of him after that. My thought came true. I am so sad. My life will not b the same with him not in it. My condolences to his son and daughter it was much to soon to lose him. I hope you both can find some peace in knowing what a great man your dad was. I would like to know what happened.  But I understand if you can't tell me.   Gina curtis
