He served in the Army Air Corps for 2 years, followed by 7 years of service in the Air Force where he obtained the rank of Master Sergeant. He served his country proudly.

James married Katherine Janet Black of Muleshoe, Texas on February 2, 1952, and they had four children together.

While operating James McCain and Sons Framing Company, he helped to build numerous homes in Odessa neighborhoods.

James was a lover of hunting and fishing, reading western novels, and bird watching. He volunteered with the Boy Scouts of America as a Cub Master and Scout Master, and remained registered with the scouting organization.
