James was a lifelong Wellington resident and graduated from Wellington High School. In 1951, James enlisted in the Marie Corps and served during the Korean Conflict.
James worked in construction and was a proud member of the Labor Union. He attended the Wellington First United Congregational Church, helped with the Wellington Alumni meetings and enjoyed volunteering with the Harvest of the Arts.
