He loved making flowers and beautiful plants grow all around the house. My mother always had flowers and a well-manicured lawn. He also made his family a home that was immaculate and a family that wanted for nothing. James was a great provider, husband and father who protected his family from all harm and intruders. We always felt safe and there were attack canines when he was working to ensure we would be safe. He was a loyal and dedicated employee of the VA hospital in Ann Arbor where he worked for thirty years in the Medical Imaging Department, which his only son would follow in his footsteps working in the same vocation. James leaves to cherish his memory, his loving wife of over sixty years, Larzetta, son Anthony two granddaughters, Gabrielle and Paris and a host of family and friends.
