James was born in Summer Shade, Kentucky. He began working as a laborer for Barton Malow in 1951. He enlisted in the Army in 1953 and was discharged in 1955 having attained the rank of Corporal. During his service he was awarded a National Defense Service Medal. He returned to work for Barton Malow until his retirement as a superintendent in 1996.
He enjoyed his horses, football games, playing cards and his special cat Mary Sue. James accepted Christ late in life and his favorite verse was John 3:16. His circle was small, but for those that were in it, they reaped the reward of James’ huge heart. To know him was to love him.
