I will miss his “where ya’ at baby” when walking by his tables at the many gun shows we attended over the years. Jessie, what a gift he was and how fortunate you were work with and learn from this very good man. RIP James!

It is with deep regret that I learned of the passing of James Holmes. It was always good to visit with him at gunshows. And he always had good and interesting items on his tables. He will be sorely missed.

We will never have all the answers but we do know that God is always in control.
Praying for God to give Shirley, his loving children, all his grands the peace and comfort that only God can give. Jimmy will be missed!

I have many fond memories talking to James at the gun shows. James was well liked and always had a smile and some good advice for all his many friends! May God have mercy on his soul and let perpetual light shine upon him.
