James was fondly known as "Grover" to his family and friends. He was a gifted mechanic and enjoyed tinkering on his numerous tractors, snowmobiles, four wheelers and other equipment he kept on the farm.

He was active in the community and was a member of the Maynard Lion's Club and served as its president. He participated in the planning of the annual Maynard 4th of July parade and was a proud member of Wang Lutheran Church.
