He was an avid listener of Blue Grass music and wrote seven songs in which one was produced. James accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior at the age of 89 and was baptized at Quaker Hill. James is survived by one daughter Darlene Johnson; one sister Vernal Huett; several grandchildren and special friends Gary and Karen Krokroskia, along with a host of friends.
