Obituary for Lemuel Wayne James

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle and friend, Lemuel Wayne James.

Wayne (Bubba) was a lover of the outdoors from a young boy. Every summer, he would go to Labrador with his family and also took his own children, Cory and Bernadette.

Wayne had a love for fishing and was a fisherman for many years. The love of the water and the moose hunting trips in the fall is what he loved to do and where he was most happy. He was a wonderful husband to his wife, Daphne of 46 years. A loving father to Cory and Bernadette and the best Poppy to his four grandchildren Jasmin, Natalie, Nikita, and Jacob.

He was a wonderful brother to Max and Christina. A very best friend to Phillip and a close friend with his uncle Eric. Wayne will forever be loved and missed by his family and the many good friends that he had.

Your gentle face and pleasant smile with sadness we recall. You had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all. You are not forgotten loved one, nor will you ever be. As long as life and memory last we will remember thee. We miss you now, our hearts are sore. As time goes by, we miss you more. Your loving smile, your gentle face, no one can take your vacant place.
