This tribute is late because I just found out that James journeyed on...
I met James and his wife Jackie, through Sacred Heart School on Sheridan Road.
James always had a smile for you. Listened to what you had to say. He gave me great advice on my car purchase...Lexus all the way.
I am hoping I can find Jackie and give her a hug.
Love to all the family,
