James was a wonder man. I know my parents Gene and Mary Lou Whitaker had some great times together .
They lived across the street from my family . James and my dad had some great pinball tournaments under our carport. Mildred and James were a fun couple to be around. Great memories. May our loving Lord wrap His arms around this precious family.
