His humor and the memories he shared with those around him will be fondly remembered. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

James was preceded in death by his wife, Carol Hodgson; his parents, Leonard and Bertha Hodgson; eight brothers; and four sisters.

He is survived by his brother, Lynn Hodgson; four children, Tony Hodgson and wife Pina, Tracey Burkhalter and husband William, Cindy Hollingsworth, and Jamie Livingston; eight grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.
