Obituary of Daniel F. James

Age 74, left this world on Thursday, June 1, 2023, to travel to his heavenly home, after a brave battle with cancer.  A son of Herbert and Anna James, he lived most of his life in Elmira. He is survived by his mother Anna; siblings, James (Jackie) of Bateseville IN, Charles (Lisa) of Little Rock AR, Nancy Butler, Kathleen (Nick) Frisk, Karen (James) Osborn, and Margaret (Tim) Sullivan, all of Elmira; many much loved nieces and nephews, as well as a number of long-time friends that he treasured.  Dan was predeceased by his father Herbert James and sister and brother-in-law, Mary and Terry Sheehan.

Dan graduated from Farmingdale College.  He retired from Howell’s Inc., where he worked for many years as a graphic artist.  A very talented artist, he always amazed us with his creations.  Dan was a loving son, brother, and uncle.  He will be greatly missed and will live forever in our hearts.
