Portaging the many lakes with his father and oldest daughter and many others. James was a happy man and always wore a big smile on his face, especially after getting his new dentures. James like his parents always had an open door and was always there for anyone who needed comfort or just a friend to talk to. He was a great listener and had many amazing life stories and accomplishments to share. James was a great Trout fisherman and enjoyed making his own fly fishing lures.
