James, used to work for the army corps of engineers and he and Irma were the two kindest people I ever met. I would always stop by his cubicle and shoot the breeze,  He was so easy to talk to such an honest true person with a great sense of humor and Irma, was just as grand as he was. She would always pinch me and we would always gaff at each other. You can't find people like them anymore. I know they are resting with the Lord and someday we will see each other again. 

If this is the James i am thinking about. Him and his wife Irma and son Micheal were are neighbors in Puerto Rico. James tool me to the hospital when i went into labor with Holly . Dennis was gone to gitmo.  

Best friends friends i ever had. This is heartbreaking.

Irma just know I'm thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.  I'm praying that God gives you the comfort you need.  Both you and James have been very special friends to me from our days working together at the Jacksonville District Office.

Irma,

My heart is saddened by your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.  May your memories give you peace and comfort now and forever more...

Irma, may you and your family be comforted during your time of loss with God's mercy. There was never a time that I encountered James without leaving with a laugh from one of his jokes. He was always delightful and will be missed.

Irma

How sorry we are for your loss. Our hearts go out to you and your family.

Irma and family,
I am so deeply sorry to hear the sad news of my brother James passing away.  I know he fought until the end to fight that last battle with his failing health.  I pray your faith provides you with comfort and strength and the memories of James in your hearts.  The picture in his Naval uniform is how I remember seeing him on a visit to our home when I was a young boy.  This is how I will always remember him.  God Bless you all.

Irma, we were so sorry to hear about James' passing.  We are praying for you and your family.  I have fond memories of our time at the COE.  Also remember a Christmas party when my husband and I enjoyed so much watching you and James do the Merengue.

We are so sorry for your loss.  Our prayers are for your family during these difficult times.

Irma,
What a happy spirit James always had when he was around us. He taught me how to "not" worry too much about things. He would say, just laugh it off and the music of life will come back. I still remember those days as if they were occurring now -- when at any point in the day, James would pop in the library to tell me a joke or two. If I didn't laugh at that joke, he'd tell another, and then another until I did. 
We are all very saddened by your loss. In Warmth & Friendship, Oriana & Gregory Armstrong

We were so sad to hear the news of your loved one our hearts and prayers are with your family. .

Irma,  I'm so sorry for your loss.  I first met James at the IRS back in 1982.  And we both ended up working at the Corps of Engineers.  How ironic! He was always smiling.  I just loved that about him.  You and your family are in my prayers.

Irma, I am praying for you and family during this time. James was such a warm heart. His smile and laugh was welcoming. May the peace of God comfort you during this time.

Irma, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember James when I first started working for the Corps and he was always so nice to me. Praying for you and your family during this time.

Irma, you have our love and support.  I am praying for God's grace on your heart.  Love, Laurie Mozo

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time of loss.

My sincere condolences to your family, I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you.

I have such fond memories of James!  And you, Irma!  So sorry for your loss and please know you and yours are in my prayers.

Irma,

I am so sorry for your loss.  Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Donna Casey
