He enjoyed traveling to North Conway, New Hampshire and Bar Harbor, Maine whenever he could. One of his favorite things to do when his grandchildren were young was visiting Disney World. He was famous for his “Bumpy’s Spaghetti” which he would make for all occasions and was a family favorite. He was a member of the Weymouth Elks and well known at Denley Gardens, where he went regularly from when he was 17 up until his 90th birthday. James enjoyed playing baseball with his son when he was younger and watching the Red Sox. He had a great sense of humor and a quick wit.
