| Obituary | James attended school at Ss. Peter and Paul School in Sherrill, later moving to Dubuque. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict, spending some time in France. James married Barbara L. Massey on September 14, 1957 at St. Patrick’s Church in Dubuque. He worked in construction for 15 years and then was employed at the Dubuque John Deere Works for 25 years until his retirement. James was a member of Holy Ghost Church and he enjoyed helping other people. He loved his work and took great pride in what he did. James was a man of few words, but he would work tirelessly for others expecting nothing in return. He enjoyed his grandchildren and watching them grow. | |
