Tammy Stapleton wrote a sympathy message

“James, you are missed dearly. You always gave me a rough time, called me cripple old hussy, etc. You made me smile. "You are older than I am!" And when you would give Tim hell, I'd laugh so hard. We all did. May you hear the music, we shared together, the day Tim & I put the earbuds in your ears, playing songs ... that "You Remembered" The kids came upstairs & they saw you singing, huge smile on your face. Almost dancing... What a happy day it was!”
