James was born March 13, 1955 in New Glasgow, NS and had lived in numerous places throughout his lifetime.  He was a loving and caring person who was well known for helping others and his door was always open.

James thrived on knowledge and was always reading or watching documentaries, he was a walking encyclopedia.  He also enjoyed movies and music of all genres.

In James’ younger years he was very outdoorsy and loved nature.  For a time he lived in a wall tent up in the Yukon year-round, he even survived a grizzly bear attack!  He truly lived life to the fullest.

He was a great example of a good person who will never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts.
