He started as a bagger and held many positions including store manager. He also worked at Walgreens in Las Vegas for 8 years as an assistant store manager.

James is survived by his wife, Donna, who he married on November 7, 1975; children, Stacy (James) Allen of Midlothian, VA, Scott (Kristin) Bosma of Indianapolis, IN, and Stephanie (David) Hoyle of Chippewa Falls, WI; grandchildren, Lukas Bosma, Tyler Bosma, Hayley Hoyle, Brady Hoyle, and Delilah Allen; sisters, Joanne Bosma, and Betty (Jack) Houtman; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
