The few times I had met James I always had a feeling of comfort and kindness that just surrounded him like a halo! He was my Uncle Chucks best friend and our friend too. My thought and prayers to your family and many friends. Rebecca

For Winne and Family: We are saddened to hear about James. Although we will surely miss him we know that he is in a happy and beautiful place. James always planned to visit us in Wisconsin but it never came to pass. We were very fortunate to bring in 2005 with James as we celebrated New Years Eve 2004 together with laughter and good times always to remember. "Save a place for us up there James, for we plan to visit you one day". Blessings!

James and I met while working at the Crowley County Correctional Facility near Olney Springs, Colorado. I have received cards of sympathy and have also received several personal condolences from several of the staff we worked with at the facility. They have all requested that I extend their sympathies to James's family and friends.



I would like to add the following: May the the lord help us all through the grieving process and help us all to remember James at his finest hours..

James was a easy-going and kind hearted gentleman who I will miss. He was Best Man when Chuck Ziegler and I married and we had many fun visits between us over the years. God Speed, my friend.
