James H. “Butch” Wells, Jr., age 68, of Grafton, passed away on Thursday, October 24th, 2019 at Westbrook Place, Westlake. He was born on May 16, 1951 in Pineville, West Virginia and moved to this area when he was very young. He worked for St. Augustine Manor in Cleveland for many years before retiring in the late 1990’s.

Wells, his 11 cherished grandchildren, including Autum, Summer, Jimmy, & Scarlett Wells, his sister, Elizabeth (Carl) Sullivan, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Wells (nee Payne) and his parents; James H. Wells, Sr., and Sylvia (nee Linville) Wells. The family will receive friends on Monday, October 28th, 2019, from 4 – 8 pm, in the Dovin and Reber Jones Funeral & Cremation Center, 1110 Cooper Foster Park Road, Amherst.
