He was the loving father to his sons Jonathan R and Jeremy J (Amanda) and adored grandfather of Autumn Brigida. He leaves behind his mother Anne, brother Robert (Terry), sister Bonnie (Reed), beloved sidekick Molly Belle and was predeceased by his father Robert J. James was the Vice President of Bob’s Auto Parts, Inc. a well recognized family business and popular gathering place for life-long friends. There was nothing he enjoyed more than time with his family and vacationing with his closest of friends. Whether it was snowmobiling, fishing, golfing, hunting, boating, or in his younger years, racing, “Big Jim” did it wholeheartedly and with extreme endurance. Though it was a short life, he lived a full life and will forever be remembered for his kind smile and gentle soul. Two hearts are again together as one, and as in every fairytale, nothing compares to the power true love’s kiss.
