The chats, laughs, heart to hearts, me and James have had over the decades since we met in `85 have, and will always be mostly fondly remembered. Really sad to hear he´s gone. I will cherish our last conversations my friend. "You can only do your best in a day, is all you can do" ... thanks James. Rest easy my friend.
My deepest condolences to Josephine, Amanda, Peter and the family.
