James Temple was a wonderful man that loved to laugh and enjoyed life. It was a pleasure to have known him and an honor to have worked with him. He spoke often of his wife and sons and dearly enjoyed his time with his grandchildren. He was easy going, even tempered and could always find the humor in most any situation. I will always remember him that way. May God richly bless your family and fill your hearts with His magnificent peace. Larry W. Stallings
