James was a kind and generous person and he never met a stranger. He loved family gatherings and being surrounded by his family. He touched many people’s hearts and lives throughout his life.

The family would like to thank the staff and TGMC and Amedysis Home Health, Fresenius Dialysis Clinic and Acadian Ambulance. His memory will live on in the hearts of all those he loved and met. He will never be forgotten and always loved.
