James L. loved his family especially his grandchildren, but he had a love for all children often handing out dollar bills to kids. After retirement from the Coffee County Water System, James enjoyed spending time at his pasture where he tended to his cows and his favorite horse, Copy. He was always up to pulling pranks and sharing his life experiences with anyone who would listen. He shared a majority of these with friends even strangers gathered at the Table of Knowledge at The Kountry Korner. He enjoyed dominoes, his card games, and Saturday mornings at the Waffle House.
