James, better known as “Lefty”, enjoyed hanging out with family and friends, bowling and traveling. In his younger days he liked to go out dancing and playing basketball. He was a die-hard Cleveland Brown fan and loved his Ohio State Buckeyes. He was a very kind, loving and gentle man. He was a man of integrity, that believed in hard work, staying humble and always showing respect. Although he could be stubborn at times, he would do anything to help those that he loved. He will be remembered for being laid back, easy going and making others laugh.

Left to cherish his memories are several loved ones and relatives from a lifetime of relationships.
