James Danielson

He was born in Warren to the late Harry and Marjorie Danielson, grew up in Clearwater, Fla. and moved to Barnes a little more than a decade ago. He had lived in Erie for nearly four years. His jobs included working as a restaurant cook, the assistant manager of a citrus packing plant, on the crew of a couple of commercial fishing boats, as a materials testing technician with several road builders and as a senior construction inspector with the Florida Department of Transportation. He enjoyed boating, skiing, diving and saltwater fishing and was a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He is survived by one daughter, Melissa Danielson of Tarpon Springs, Fla, a granddaughter, Lilly Senoren; two brothers, Jay Billstone of Lander and Richard Danielson of Clearwater, Fla.; and eight nieces and nephews.
