James is survived by his second wife, Rosenda Sofia Fawcett.

Nice to see you doing all the right things in life, Redmond. Your mom would be so proud! I am very sorry for the loss of your grandfather. I am sure he taught you many things. He can live on through you. God bless both of you.

My deepest sympathies, Redmond. People may think you've had a special, spoiled life but fact, you've had to
grow up too fast and now go through what no one should have to till later in life. Stay strong, Redmond. Be wise for M and G-pa.

92 years! That's quite a nice, long life! Now he's reunited with his loved ones. Glad that d-bag Ryan stayed away.
