It was with great sadness and shock that we learned of James’ sad and untimely passing RIP
We’ve known James since he was a young lad and he was partly reared in my mother’s RIP house,he learned a lot of things there, mostly good including how to play Draughts and Rummy. They bounced off each other and not without some arguments but all in good fun.My mother used to love to see “Jimmy “ as she used to call him coming.
James we will always remember and miss you,rest easy now my old friend
