James S. James was born a St. Louis Cardinal in 1954 and after the 2013 season opener, passed away on April 2nd.

Whether it was being a gracious host and sharing his love of cooking and food, as a computer guy who helped anyone who called, or giving of his sense of humor and empathy—what Jim had, he generously gave to those around him. The soundtrack of his life’s adventures included The Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones.

His passions for dogs, pool, bar-b-q, fireworks, and baseball were only surpassed by his devotion to his wife Lynn and daughter Katie, and his love for his extended family, including his brother Tom. He will be remembered with fond smiles, full bellies, and memories of joyful laughter.

Jim’s life and loves will be celebrated in the family home on April 7 at 2pm. Flowers may be sent to 5050 View Rd, Langley or donations made to Hospice of the Northwest.
