James was an active member of the Church at the Crossing, formerly known as Northside Church of God. For several years James and his grandson, Eric, volunteered with the maintenance team at his church. After James retired in 1989, he cherished playing golf and bowling with his brother, Paul, and grandson, Eric. James and Mary also took frequent day trips throughout Indiana. A nature-lover, James loved being outdoors, whether gardening, or passing time on his porch, or going for walks.
