I attended Copland High School in Wembley with James, from 1976 to 1981.
We started there as boys and left as young men to face the world as it was then, back in 1981.
James was a kind and thoughtful person who was always willing to help anyone in need.
He was the sort of Person that once you'd met him, you would never forget him. I lost contact with him & hadn't seen him for many years, but even so it breaks my heart to know he is no longer with us.
May God rest your soul in eternal peace my brother and I will pray that your family and loved find comfort during this difficult time. 🙏🏾

"But I do not want you to be ignorant brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead
in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words."
1 Thessalonians 4, V13-18
