With sadness in our hearts at the passing of our father, James H.

He was called home on November 27, 2020. James was born in Madison, VA to Raymond and Edna McCord. He was a Veteran of the Korean War serving in the US Navy. James was a loyal friend to many, dedicated family man and a master of all trades, master auto mechanic, and owner of a Home Painter, Drywall, and finishing business. James is preceded in death by his parents, two sisters (Dorothy and Myrtle), one brother (Ralph), his beloved wife, Shirley Marie McCord, and an infant son, David. James is survived by his five sons; James of New Bedford, MA, Thomas (Karen) of Bentonville, VA, Walter of Scotts Hill, TN, Cleveland of Manhattan, NY, and Christopher of Shady Side, MD; and his beloved daughter, Constance of Scotts Hill, his brother Clyde of Fredericksburg, VA.
