   We could have not asked for a better father-in-law in all of Portsmouth, VA for our son. He showed his great love for family when he was blessed with his grandson. We shall miss him and his wisdom.
   Joyce, Shawn, Hope and Carol you are in our prayers and thoughts.

   Clayton and Phyllis Porter

   Carolyn, sorry for your loss. Brother and I were good friends. We were in Vietnam at the same time. We had a lot of fun together.

   My prayers and condolences are extended to you, Joyce and the family. I am just seeing this notification as our I.C. Norcom High School memories pour through my mind. Both you and James were kind Christian youth. My developmental professional adult years were spent in New York City which delineated our societal interpersonal communications. May you always experience peaceful inspirations knowing that James’ heavenly arrival celebration will eternally await us all, “When We All Get To Heaven”! Dr. Dr. J. Leon Knight

   Joyce, my prayers are with you sister, during this time. James, my only brother-in law, was a dear person to all of us. He loved people, volunteered to help others constantly, and was kind-hearted. He loved his family and did what he could in his special way to show and share his love with his family.
   Shawn, Hope, Ryan, and Carolyn, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Always remember that God loves and cares about you.

   Love always, Haroleen D. Ray (Sister, Aunt and Friend)

     Reavis and Porter family, Harroll and I are sorry we can not be there with you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family through this time of sorrows. We know you will miss your brother, father, grand father, uncle and friend but know that God is a comforter and he heals all sorrows.

    I just heard of James’ passing today. I am so very sorry for the loss. James and Joyce were very special people in our lives. My son, Craig Langaster, was the ring bearer in their wedding and I worked for years in Portsmouth with Joyce. I pray that God will bless and and comfort Joyce, Hope, Haroleen, the grandchildren, and family members. James was such a warm and friendly spirit and will be greatly missed.
