James was a wonderful classmate. Mr. Gosier our Health and physical Education Teacher, always gave James a high standard of accolades of being the number one base ball player. We never lost a baseball game ,every time he would bat it was always a home run. I can say my years of knowing James (yank) we formally called ,” our beloved classmate he was a joy to be around. His company was always a pleasure. He will truly be missed in the zuma “ by friends and family. Now, our favorite baseball ⚾️ player (yank ) entering into the kingdom rest your cap, gloves, uniform, cleats, ball and bat God saids, well done good and faithful servant you won many. It is resting time now peace be unto you. Good bye.”
