John James was known as "Jack".
From the Find-a-Grave record [PHOTOGRAPH]: "Charlotte, North Carolina - Mr. John "Jack" James Crymes, 90, of Charlotte, North Carolina passed away on Saturday, August 31, 2024. Born May 29, 1934 in Charlotte, he was the son of the late William Worth and Mary Hildred (Turner) Crymes. He was the husband of the late Mary Frances (Rich) Crymes. A true southern gentleman, Jack graduated from Central High School and Davidson College where he was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. He was the owner and operator of Faul and Crymes Sporting Goods, which his father and partner founded. He later founded Crymes Sport Sales, Inc. as a manufacturer's representative. A business that he would operate and run with his son, Jay, until his retirement. A veteran of the Korean War, Jack served his country faithfully in the U.S. Army. Jack was an avid supporter of the Charlotte Symphony and WDAV radio. He enjoyed traveling, fine dining, theater and most of all, he loved spending time with his family and friends. Survivors include his son, J▮▮▮ Jr. "J▮▮" and his wife, G▮▮▮; grandchildren, E▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮ and J▮▮▮ III; sister, M▮▮▮ W▮▮▮▮ Bywater; sister-in-law, Ann and her husband, Bonson Hobson; along with many beloved nieces and nephews. In addition to his wife and parents, Jack was preceded in death by his brother William "Bill" Crymes. The family would like to thank The Stewart Health Center at The Cypress of Charlotte for the special care given to Jack; especially LaToya, Tammy, Andrea and Aaron. A Celebration of Life for Jack will be held at 11:00 am, Monday, September 16, 2024 in the sanctuary of St. John's Baptist Church, 300 Hawthorne Lane, Charlotte. Memorials to the church in Jack's honor."
The reference to "... sister-in-law, Ann and her husband, Bonson Hobson" cannot be reconciled, as John James had only one brother, William Worth who died in 1979 having 'never married'.
