I've known James since I was 13 years old. I will always appreciate that the several summers I lived with him and LaDell, he always made me feel welcome. When I wrecked his car, never a word was said. I always thought he was funny, even when LaDell did not. Lots of good memories. I will miss him. I loved him.
