James

Lovingly known as James and Hilton by family and childhood friends, James was born on January 25, 1931 in Sangre Grande, Trinidad and Tobago to Albert and Mahalia Wolf. He graduated from High School and motivated to follow his dreams.  He became a Professional boxer and then a Police Officer. In pursuit of his goals, he met his wife, Albertina and started a new life. He made his way to the United States, and found a job with the intention of building and providing a prosperous life for his family. His new motivations were to build and provide for his family.  James was employed as a Machinist with Lowe Paper Co for 40+ years where he retired with numerous awards and honors. He was a valued employee and wasn't afraid of hard work.  James had a laid back spirit.  Someone who didn't know him would mistakenly think he was quiet or shy but when you got to know him you would then witness his comical sense of humor, constant jokes and witty come backs,  He spent most of his weekends enjoying his family and watching sports, preferably a baseball game on TV. He enjoyed his simple life and a good plate of food. James represented the true meaning to the phrase "A way to a man's heart is through his stomach".  His kindness and jovial laugh will be remembered and felt by all.  He will be missed.

James is survived by his wife and children, siblings and host of nieces and nephews.
