James is a veteran of the United States Army and proudly served his country during the Vietnam War.
James loved to shrimp on his favorite trawling boats, “The Runaway Child”, “Terry James”, and “Lady Terry.” He enjoyed playing card games with his family and never missed a game of Pedro; set Gail back, make her fuss.
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 T.G.M.C and Amedysis Home Health.
His memory will live on in the hearts of all those he loved and met. He will never be forgotten and always loved.
