On November 1, 1948, James was born the son of Jacob and Sarah (Black) Hamilton in Dearborn Heights, MI. He was united in marriage to Christina Domako in Detroit, MI.
on March 30, 1968 and the pair enjoyed fifty years of marriage. During his working years, James had the opportunity to build many relationships in various lines of work. He began his work career around logistics, having served as dispatcher for trucking companies in the Dearborn area until 1984 when he had attended and graduated from the Specs Howard On-Air Broadcasting School.
After his graduation, James and his family moved to the Clare County area where he would later serve as the radio voice for stations in Beaverton, Harrison, and Clare.

James finished his career as the long-time shipping and receiving manager for Jay’s Sporting Goods.
James had many passions in life that included camping and campfires, horses, movies, Florida vacations, and especially golfing. However, all of those passions took second place to spending time with his loving family. James is survived by his wife Christina of Clare County, his children Tim (Clarinda) Hamilton of Dayton, OH.
, and Miel (Benjamen) Good of Clare County, and his grandchildren Ryan, Todd, Jared, Grant, Jacob, David, Olivia, Ella, and Avry.
