James was a member of Calvary Conservative Mennonite Church. The family wishes to thank their church family for all the support over the years as James battled cancer.
As a family we are very grateful to God for allowing James to outlive earthy expectations, be with us on family trips, see children married, and have grandchildren. James had a real love for the outdoors, and we were blessed that he was able to enjoy our 2021 family trip.
