Born in Barss Corner, Lunenburg County, he was the son of the late "Caleb" James and Ida May (Lowe) Hawkesworth. James was a loving man who loved and cared for his family, his friends and community. No matter how little he had he would always give to those in need. He always had a friendly smile and a wave. Many people were proud to say he was their adopted father or uncle. James loved music, playing guitar, singing, tormenting the women, loved his lipstick kisses and was known to tell a good dirty joke. James worked in the woods, built boats and did small engine repair.
