He is survived by his loving children Eric (Dawn) Keiser and Amy (Ron) Lim, along with stepchildren Janie (Mark) DuShane, Cori (Dan) Bzura, and Jojo (Jason) Dosch. His footprint lives on through 12 cherished grandchildren.
In addition to his immediate family, James is remembered by his brother Phil (Haydee) Keiser, sisters-in-law Linda (James) Sage and Holly (Hugh) Quinn, and several nieces and nephews.
