It was in Oklahoma City where James met his soulmate and best friend, Alice Masuy Castle. Alice brought her son Patrick Leist into the family and James loved and mentored Patrick as only fathers do. Although their story and time together was brought to a premature end, James and Alice, as best friends do, were set to celebrate 29 years together this December 22nd. Alice and Jim was a loving pair, taking on the challenges of life, marriage and blending families. Fondness of travel became a major theme with frequent trips to Las Vegas and Laughlin Nevada, Florida and back home to West Virginia. His visits to Virginia to visit with Angela, her husband Jeff, and grandsons Joshua, Beau and Samuel Theall where especially memorable; usually ending with wings and watching football. Back home in Oklahoma, nothing was more meaningful than watching his grandson Jacob Plum Leist, Patrick's son, play youth football, baseball and wrestling.
James was preceded by his mother, Betty Payne, and father James A. Castle Sr. He is survived by his always loving wife Alice, his daughters Angela and Leighann, son Patrick, grandsons Samuel, Jacob, Beau and Joshua, brothers Bruce, James Robert, and Tracy, cousins Susie Hamilton, Debbie Young, Greg Payne, Marcy Andrews, James Ball, David Ball, Bobby Dale, Buddy Mangus, Carl "Kip" McGhee, Bobbie Mangus, Gary Mangus, aunts Cora Shade and Margaret Lee Payne, nephews Bruce Castle Jr., nieces Leslie and Lindsey Castle and uncle Charles Humphrey. Loving family also includes sister in law Elizabeth Drescher, husband Jeff and daughter Nicole and brother in law Paul Masuy Jr. and wife Michelle.
A memorial will be held on Friday, October 19th, 2018, from noon until 3:00pm and a celebration of life beginning at 4:00pm at Buchanan Funeral Service, 8712 N Council Rd, Oklahoma City, OK 73132.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to the American Heart Association in James' name.
