My deepest condolences to all the family and friends. James was a great man who had an iron-clad work ethic. I’ll remember him for his kindness and patience but best of all his view that we’re done when the job is done.
James was always kind and helpful, he had a wonderful personality and he will be fondly remembered by everyone who had the pleasure of working with and knowing him! My condolences to all.
Thank You!
So sorry, I just found out about James passing. I had the pleasure of getting to know beamer on the drill rig in NYC. We worked shoulder to shoulder for a few years. What a guy……to me. He was the kinda guy that would jump on the grenade to save people. So sad to hear this news.
So sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Jim/Beamer: You worked hard and were loved by many and will be missed by all. As your name Beamer-shine down on us all and keep everyone safe. It is terrible that you worked so hard and could not enjoy your retirement. Lots of love Nora and Owen up there with you. Jennifer, Ryan, Jackson, Charlotte and Owen. Philip, Rosie, Braden and Aubrey. Lots of hugs and kisses always and forever.
Brenda and Robbie, so sorry to hear of Beamers passing. May God Bless You Both.
