James was an inspiration to me to persue the veterinary field, albiet not the racing industry for me. I saw practice with him in Matamata as a student, and was educated in many ways! One of my colleagues enjoyed many enjoyable years working with him, working with the horses the way he always wanted to. We met at the odd conference, and acknowledged our 'first cousin once removed' relationship. Rest in Peace now James, after a busy hard working and hard playing life.
Sincerely from Megan and Richard Clemance.
