James was born in Oklahoma, but spent most of his life in Lake Jackson, TX. He is a graduate of Brazosport High School.

He married the love of his life Lois Rouse in 1959. He joined the Army and served as a medic while working in Germany. He worked for Dow Chemical as a painter for many years and retired in 1995.

James was very active in girls' softball, acting as a mentor, a coach and an umpire for many years. He was an avid fisherman and spent many hours on the lake. He enjoyed taking family members and friends along to enjoy the experience.

After retirement, he filled his time by volunteering at the Lake Jackson Sea Center with thousands of hours of service. His favorite hours were spent in the fishing program working with the children who came to fish.

He is survived by his wife of 63 years Lois Glover, children: Cheryl Valor and her husband Hector, Carol Robinson and her husband Gene, and Cindi White and her husband Ken. His granddaughter Randa Morrison and her husband Lanne, and great grandkids, Lanne and Chloe. His brothers, Bill Glover, and Bobby Glover, and sister Leoda Jenkins.
