Uncles James was a wonderful person. He was a heavy duty machine operator. He rolled a big dozer over a hill once and broke many things but survived. He was always so happy to see us when we visited over the years. Family reunions were all , so much fun. Telling stories and sharing the yearly updates. He was the baby of the family and was sadly missed from his passing. He was in nursing home for last few years and Aunt Betty joined him before her passing. They allowed them to share rooms.
