James was a man of deep convictions and simple pleasures, finding joy in the salty air of the coast, where he would fish with patience and skill. He had a way of making conversations meaningful-whether discussing the world's happenings or sharing stories from his life, he was always someone worth listening to.
He had unmatched work ethic, taking pride in being damn good at what he did. His competitive spirit extended beyond the job-he loved softball and played with passion. And when it came to gambling, well, he was as lucky as they came.
James' love for his family was unwavering, especially for his mother, whom he held in the highest regard. He had a soft spot for Walker, the only child who truly won his affection, and a deep appreciation for a plate of good spaghetti. His Catholic Faith was a guiding force in his life, shaping the strong and principled man he was.
Above all, James had a presence that couldn't be ignored. His sense of humor, his way of seeing the world, and his legendary catchphrase-Wolf Brand Chili-will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. He was a man of integrity, wisdom, and loyalty, and to have known him was a privilege.
Rest easy, Butch. You were one of a kind.
