It was a privilege and an honor to have known such a good and caring man like George.
As the seasons change, and day turns to night, all men will cross difficult times. Peace is in our almighty Lord that provides life, death and compassion to those who seek him.
George has his on cloud where every day is a celebration that we can't begin to fathom.
See you again, my friend. Thank you for everything you did for my family.
"He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD,
and he will reward him for what he has done."

George was friend to all who met him. He was a great member of the total Helena community. He was the best"FIX IT" man I ever knew, In high school we bought a junk car for $10.00 each he kept it and a few years later it was a world class $3,000 street rod! The whole James family are in our thoughts and prayers. Diane and I are so much better having George as our friend. Jim & Diane, Marla, Caren Adam Mayer
