Survivors include his three children, Josh (Vanessa) Crosley, Cassandra Crosley, Anna (Justin) Moore; four grandchildren, Maddox Crosley, Samantha Moore, Aubrie Moore and Lillian Moore; a sister Carolyn Seeber, a brother John (Rebecca) Berry; and several nieces and nephews.

James was a graduate of Montezuma High School, and Lake Land College. He also served in the U.S. Army. He was a member of St. Benedict Catholic Church. He was a philosopher, as well as a theologian. The written word was his favorite hobby, with a love of science fiction. James was the household Champion of Trivial Pursuit, as well as a sore loser of Risk. His smile was contagious, and his laugh a balm for the soul.
