    James was born September 16, 1929, at Mankato, the son of Alphonse G. and Mary A. (Terry) Simonett. He graduated from Loyola High School in Mankato in 1947. Between high school graduation and 1951, James worked for Ziesmer Motors in Mankato, Minnesota. On January 3, 1951, James enlisted in the 47th National Guard Medical Unit of the 135th Infantry and left for Camp Rucker, Alabama on January 22, 1951. While in the Korean War, he attended and graduated from Brooke Army Medical School at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas. He attained the rank of Staff Sergeant by September of 1951. James was honorably discharged on September 28, 1952 from the Korean War.

    After being discharged from the Korean War, James returned to Ziesmer Motors as a new car salesman. In July of 1962, he moved to Fairmont, Minnesota and became Sales Manager for Meeke-Winquist Motors. On October 20, 1962, James married Patricia E. Lauver of Mankato, Minnesota. She was the daughter of Ernest W. and Olga (Kremmin) Lauver. James and Patricia Simonett started Simonett Motors of Fairmont and operated the business until 1985 when both retired and moved to North Mankato, Minnesota.
