I will always miss seeing James in a store and the way he made everyone feel important. He was the same man no matter were he was. He was honest and one of gods gifts to this earth. My best wishes to his family and friends, I know he’ll be smiling down on us from high above with a laugh and smile that makes the sun seem dim. I’ll always miss my friend, but I will also cherish the memories we shared leaning on the bed of his truck telling stories. A true modern day outlaw and one of the finest men I’ve had the privilege of calling my friend. My prayers are with the family.
