What kind of relationship did James seem to have with his sons?

James and Hal, Mario, and Orin did not have great relationships. James was successful in his career and very involved in gaining knowledge. Still, he was unable to find a connection with his family with the same passionate fervor. Hal is similar to James in his skills in tennis. Orin shifted away from his father in pursuing his football career. Mario still struggles to find a way to connect to his father after his death.
