Growing up I would see James at my friends family holidays like Christmas. I remember his big smile, contagious laugh, starched jeans, and pressed pearl snap shirts! Our condolences to the entire Steel family.

Uncle James always made time for me, as a kid. He taught me how to hunt and work on cars. So many memories of love, support and laughter when we needed it. He enjoyed and took care of his family.

I spent time with Uncle James and Aunt Norweita when I was young. I'll always have great memories because of the love I was shown. Uncle James was always cutting up making me laugh. I loved it when he and aunt Norweita would sit and hold hands when we sat in the living room. I know they're reunited!
