I am so very sorry for your loss. James was a good neighbor and so kind to my Great- granddaughter Harper. Always had a funny thing to say to her when she came over to play with Lily and Koko, and something funny when she had to come back home. I know he is greatly missed by the family and will be also greatly missed by Harper and me.
Always enjoyed James/Amos as a child playing board games RC cola/Ace potato chips seeing him at the Boys Club and watching the family playing music together at home he will always be in my heart as he and all of the Carroll has always been a huge part of my life growing up. Eddie Nelson Rulo JR
