He was 87 years old and leaves behind a brother Edwin VanWagenen and two sons, James A. VanWagenen and Lawrence C. VanWagenen.
He was born and raised in Colonie, NY and raised his two sons in Saratoga Springs.
He drove trucks for Consolidated Freightways and retired as a proud member of the Teamsters Local No. 294.
James was best known for his years of coaching Saratoga Little league.
He was also an avid golfer and loved playing the ponies at the raceways!
