James was born in Innes, SK and spent his early years helping on the family farm near Cadillac.  His long career as Sergeant and Flight Engineer in the Canadian Air Force took him (and his family) all over the world.  Upon retirement, he settled in Regina, SK where he spent years working at the Centre of the Arts and taking care of apartment blocks.

A special thanks to the dedicated staff of doctors, nurses and care aides at the Pasqua Hospital (4A) and Neighbourhood Nurses for their kindness and care.
