James was a very special person; a beloved cousin. I have many cherished memories of our times together. During our youth, James and his brother Mike were the leaders of such great adventures on the farm. In 1974, while James was a graduate student at USC, he gave me a very memorable tour of Los Angeles, from the city's Old Town to Santa Monica Beach to Hollywood; we saw it all. And quite possibly, we photo-bombed a movie that was being filmed; James knew his way around the City of Angels. Now his permanent residence is with his Lord and with the heavenly host of fellow angels.
My memories of James will remain with me until we're together again.
My heartfelt condolences are with Becky and with all of James' family.

Mr Butenschoen was an awesome person giving many people opportunities to live out their dreams by providing an awesome cosmetology school. He helped me by providing me with an education as a cosmetology instructor and employing me to be able to continue to live out my life long dream of becoming a cosmetology instructor. He was an amazing boss and leader always there to support and guide as needed. I will not forget the opportunity he has given me and I will continue to do my best as he would want. Will miss you and will do my best to carry on your dream of having the best beauty colleges in the area. May you rest in peace and hope your family and loved ones find peace in knowing you have helped so many in your life and continue to do so with the legacy you have left behind. Now go rest Mr Jim you have trained us well.
With great sadness but admiration I now sign off.
