i know James was mentioned a few times in season 4 but was he ever mentioned in season 5 or Season 6 ?

Yes, James was mentioned all throughout the show's run.

Yeah, he was mentioned now and then. I remember when Thelma was getting married and her and Florida were talking about when she and James got married.

He was mention in almost every ep in season 4

expect on season 5 and final episode which was sad

I'm just starting the Season 6 DVD set, where Florida comed home. She and Thelma were talking about the upcoming wedding, and Flo said something to the effect, "your father would be so proud of you".
