Dear House Family: So sorry to hear of James' death. We spent time together when he worked on our home. James was very kind hearted, dependable, honest and a true pleasure to be around. He got to know all our animals who loved each of his visits to our house. I will always remember him reading and waiting for workers to show. He ran out of books often while waiting. He will be truly missed. We are very sorry for your loss.
