James was born in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania on October 31, 1942. He had a life of service including honorably serving in the U.S. Navy as a young man and later joining the Eggertsville Volunteer Hose Company in Amherst, New York where he was elected as the Company President and served on the Board of Directors. After moving to Atlanta, James began a long and successful career with the United States Postal Service until his well earned retirement.
He was a long time devoted member of St. Thomas Apostle Catholic Church in Smyrna, Georgia.
James was well known for his ease in conversation, his entertaining sense of humor and his endless caring and generosity to those he loved and even with total strangers in need. He will long be remembered by the numerous people whose lives were impacted by his smile, laughter and kindness.
