James T. “Eyes” Castle The Lord sent his Angels on January 22, 2020 to take home James T. “Eyes” Castle after a long battle of illnesses. James was surrounded by his loving and devoted family when he left this life. James was a loving husband, father of three, grandfather of two, and great-grandfather of two and one on the way.

James was a lifelong resident of Abingdon, Va. Throughout his life, he owned and operated his own vinyl siding business for 43 years. He was a Fellowship member of the Washington County Virginia Moose Lodge for 47 years. “Eyes” had a heart of gold and lived his life working, loving life, making friends wherever he went, and lending a helping hand when others were in need.

He is preceded in death by his loving parents Charles and Lorine Castle, and a sister Doris Gilliam. James is survived by his wife Diane Castle of Abingdon, married 49 years; she has been a loving and devoted wife and caregiver throughout his illnesses.
