On March 12, 1989 he married the love of his life, Diane Parham who he always called his Honey. He and Diane shared a special bond and James was happiest when Diane was by his side.

He was also a custom woodworker, building custom furniture for daycares. He loved to spend time fishing and camping with Diane and their many camping friends, such as Ray Winters, Rabbit and Jane Swanson and many others.
