James was born on September 10, 1930 in Stockbridge, Michigan, to parents Dewey and Mary Weiss. James lived his life with commitment and dedication to others. He married Sara Ann Lindke on June 26, 1952. She was the love of his life, and they spent 71 happy years together. His eyes lit up whenever she walked into the room. Together they created a legacy of love with family, raising 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren. He adored his family and could spend endless time with them.
