Tough as nails, yet one of the kindest men you could have ever been lucky enough to know. Always the life of the party, when he was around you knew it was going to be a good time. He was always there quick to lend a hand to anyone in need. Loving, caring, compassionate, dedicated, a little crazy he was defiantly one of a kind. That was the Jimbo we all knew and loved. Words cannot describe how much he will be missed. James worked for Star Paving for over 20 years. He enjoyed fishing and gardening and belonged to Nazarene Church.
