James had a deep love and passion for anything in the outdoors. He loved to hunt, fish, boat, or just to be outside. James loved to cook and this passion led him to owning a food truck in Homer, Alaska where he and Judy lived 6 months out of the year, working his dream job. In Alaska, James met so many wonderful people that became more than just a customer, they were his extended Family. He would meet people and talk to them like he had known them all of his life, he had never met a stranger. More important than anything else in his life was his family. He loved having large gatherings at his home with all his children and grand children. They were his greatest joy in life and he loved each of them in a special way.
