As time passed and dues were paid, James met Linda in Kansas City, and shortly after, they were married in Miami, Oklahoma. In an effort to make a good life for themselves, they moved to Neosho and succeeded. He enjoyed working on small engines in his garage, mowing lawns, watching Westerns and Andy Griffith, but most of all, spending time with his family.
He is survived by one son, James Troy Branum of Neosho; daughter, Barbara Nabors; three grandchildren, James Coy Branum, Justin Troy Branum, and Ashleigh Jean-Marie Branum; great-grandchild, Paislee Adefay Branum; and nine siblings, Violet Freil, Earnest Branum, Michael Branum, Betty Dotson, Virgina Gunter, Vickie Stockton, Kathy Choate, Lynn Choate, and Teresa Malek.
