Willis Robert 'Bob' James, 64

Willis Robert “Bob” James died Oct. 24, 2011. He was 64.

He leaves behind his wife, Nancy, of 43 years. Bob had five sisters, Mary, Jessica, Susan, Janie and Glenna. He also has many nieces and nephews.

Living here in the valley he loved, Bob and Nancy raised their three children, Bobbie, Terrie and Jesse. They also have 14 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

The friends he made here in Montana were all dear to his heart. Once a friend — always a friend. He hunted and fished with many of them. His family hopes they will think of him often. He will be missed.

A gathering of friends and family and potluck will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29, at Bobbie’s home, at 119 Wettington Dr., west of town by the old Julie’s Restaurant.
