James has been part of the Bi-County Services family since 1977 and loved working in the BI-County Workshop. He enjoyed collecting Matchbox cars, watching movies, listening to music and attending concerts. He liked animals, especially dogs, and always looked forward to the Bluffton Street Fair!

Funeral services will take place at 11 a.m. Monday, Sept. 18, 2023, at the Thoma/Rich, Lemler Funeral Home in Bluffton with visitation from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday prior to the service. Instead of flowers, the family would prefer memorials be made to Bi-County Services.

The family would like to thank James’ Bi-County family for their dedicated love and services and care for James over the years.
