As we bid James J. farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For James J. is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
He is survived by: his children, Lennon Hughes (David), Lisa Mattila and Lynn Millane (Mark). He is also survived by five grandchildren; and numerous brothers, sisters, and other family members.
