Christopher enjoyed his Harley and often attended motorcycle events, including those in Gettysburg, Myrtle Beach, SC and Sturgis, SD. One whose laugh was contagious, he loved the spotlight and kept people smiling and entertained. One with many passions, he enjoyed the history of the Civil War and the calmness of the tide at Ocean City, NJ.

Collins, CO and Emily James of Sykesville , MD; five brothers, Barry James of Burbank, CA, Robert James II and his wife, Janice of Bonneauville, Tim James and his wife, Cathy of Hanover, Jay James of Hanover and Neal James (his twin) and his wife, Vickie of Hanover ; three sisters, Sue James Baadte and her husband, Don of East Berlin, Leslie James Wendler and her husband, Eric of Mt. Airy, MD and Amy James Warehime and her husband, Jeff of Hanover; and many nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends on Sunday from 3:30 pm until the time of the service. Military rites will be rendered by Hanover Veterans Honor Guard.
