Betty Jo, we are so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Jimmie worked with him for years at Metalock, Dow and finally ITT Gould's. He still talks about how much fun they had when they went to Canada on the bear hunt. He has always respected Jim and I can't imagine there was anyone who didn't like him. I know he will be truly missed by so many.

Mrs. Betty Jo, James Jr. & Bobby,
I am so sorry for your loss. I did not get a chance to meet Mr. James. But sure wish I could've...I met James Jr recently and we became really good friends. And he told me so many great stories about his dad.
I pray God gives each one of you the strength and peace to get through the days to come.
