CHARLOTTE, N.C. — On a bitterly cold night in January, James Sims would meet his destiny.
“I see a fire truck going with its lights and my first thought is, ‘This can’t be good,'” said Brian Sims, James’ brother.
James Sims, 48, grew up in Union County in a family of five brothers, including Brian and Lou. His mother, Eline Thoresbury, kept them in church and away from trouble.
