Sorry to hear the news on James. I worked with him for many years. He was a good and thorough mechanic. Once a customer called and said make sure his car was being worked on by James.  When I told a fellower co worker he was saddened too. We will both miss the call on our birthdays. Always loved to chat old times and catch up on the latest.  I miss him.  

So sorry to hear the news on James. I worked with him for many years. He was a great mechanic. I recall a customer calling once and asking if his car was in James's stall.  He used to call me on my birthday. I missed his call this year.  I will miss him. Hi to the family.

Vanassa and Jimmy you have my heartfelt condolences you are in my thoughts and prayers sorry to hear that Mr Vance had passed he was a nice neighbor 

Dear Vanessa, Jimmy and the entire family:
Please accept our sincere sympathy in the loss of your Dad. I’m sure he’s in Heaven with Kaye—-his one true love. James had a different personality than the average man but he was very sincere and loving his whole life. I remember being in the car with him, Kaye and others racing through the tall corn fields…. Not really knowing what we’d run into. He wasn’t afraid of much and lived his life accordingly. He was a hard worker and dedicated to one job for most of his working life. He lived through hard times and he loved Kaye and his children so much. After Kaye died he had a couple of girl friends that he enjoyed spending time with. He would drink heated canned milk in a cup like it was coffee or tea. I remember all of the crazy things he did when he was younger but I don’t remember anything terribly bad. I know James was a Christian and loved the Lord.  Our promise is that we will meet again in Gloryland. Love and hugs,
Judy Lee (James’ cousin).
