He is the beloved husband of the late local artist Dorothea “Dot” James and father of Steven James, who is Clerk of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. As the former Chairman of Revere’s Conservation Commission and a member of the Saugus River Watershed Council, Joe has been a staunch advocate for environmental protection for many years – especially when it comes to the stewardship of Rumney Marsh.
