So very sorry to hear about James passing away. My condolences to the family, he will be fondly
remebered.
My condolences to Amy and the rest of James’ family. My first solid memory of James dates back to the mid ‘90s. He and I were first in at a mobile home fire that was really going. He was leading as my foot fell through the floor and got stuck. Not to worry, James had enough draft-horse strength that all I had to do was hang on to the hose and he pulled me right out. As we progressed, we thought we found a trapped infant that turned out to be a baby doll that moved every time we did. James had a heart that felt joy when others did and felt pain when others felt pain. I will continue to miss our gun talks and military banter. My prayers to all of you, his family, for quick healing over your loss. Phil
