From newspaper obit:

James spent his early years in Hannah, N.D., where he began school. At the age of 12, James moved with his family to Snoqualmie, Wash., where he finished his education. James entered the work force as a young man to support the needs of his family. He worked at the local gas station, Tanner Lumber Mill and Weyerhauser. At the age of 18, James went to work with Boeing as Machinist in the Airplane On the Ground (AOG) division. He repaired aircraft on location throughout the world and retired from Boeing after 38 years. While working for Boeing he resided primarily in Fall City, Wash.

Following his retirement, James resided in Electric City, Wash., Post Falls and Priest River, Idaho prior to his move to Colville. James was a member of the Cle Elum Eagles Lodge for 25 years and the Ellensburg Moose Lodge for 15 years. He loved to hunt and fish and spend time with family and friends. Conversations shared around the card table and fire pit were some of his favorites. James will be remembered as a great father, grandfather and friend whose great strength of character, love for life and proud nature will be missed.
