About Me	My Only Son - James I was a warm Thursday night in Huntsville, Alabama. The date was November 19, 1992. I was staying with my daughter and son-law because I was getting married on November the 27th. I had spent the afternoon with James. We were shopping for a new pair of shoes for the wedding.

He turned the plane to the left to avoid the tree, but the plane hit the very top of the tree, turned upside down, and headed nose down to the ground. James, Toby and Shawn were killed instantly. Mac survived with a broken elbow. We had a closed casket funeral because James’ head was so smashed in that we wanted to remember James the last time we saw him.
