I worked with James many a year . There was not a more hard working man that I knew . The years had separated us , but I will always remember how intense he was to his job . Glad that I got to know James (BULL) Stevens in my life time .

Uncle J always knew what was going on in our little town. He never forgot where he was from. He cared about his family that was in Daingerfield. Always had stories to tell about his brothers and the things they did to each other. He will be missed very much. He wouldn't trade places with us for anything. Not goodbye just see you later, Uncle J. Love you very much

Uncle J W was fun to talk to. He always had a special bond to Daingerfield and loved to talk about his days living here. He used to call me on Saturday mornings to find out about the football games that Brandon was in. Will always think of him when the football season comes around.
