Dear Ms. Debbie,
What comes to mind when I think of Mr.James was his friendly smile and wave every time I walked or drove by.(Ms.Debbie always by his side with a contagious smile) I am thankful to have to have known him. As well, honored to have seen all of his beautiful furniture he made and refinished. He was truly gifted. I will always remember his advice he gave me on refinishing my kitchen cabinets.
Cedarcrest, has truly lost a wonderful neighbor. I could always reply on Mr. James to give me the latest updates on what was going on. But mostly, Mr. James went the extra mile to ensure his neighborhood was safe. Either by truck, bike or walking. Not many do what Mr.James did. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
I know words can not lighten your grief but pray the love of family, friends and your memories of Mr. James will help carry you and your family through this very difficult time.

Angela, Michael, William and Joshua Craig

Please know how honored we have been to have had you and Mr James as our neighbor and friends and that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We have always felt that Mr James was the kind of man we all hoped to be or be with and how absolutely special he was.
It was once said that,
"The depth of sadness we may feel for the loss of someone's presence is a testament to the strength of the guardian angel will be."
He will be missed terribly and may you all find comfort knowing the strength of this angel.

My sincere condolences to my dear friends for the loss of James, a very special friend to so many and a wonderful husband and Father. Someone shared this verse with me and I hope it helps you find peace. Quote: I wish you the gift of a memory whenever you need to know, the one you love still walks with you wherever you may go.

I really believe this, Debbie. God Bless
