james was an incredible guy. he had unbelievable values and an incredible sense of what was right. he approached life with a passion that was addictive and infectuous, but it was always based on what was right. if he believed in something it was always with 100% of his being, you knew exactly where you stood with james, and exactly how he felt about things. his observations on life were flawessly accurate and often left you in stitches. i used to look forward to coming into work in the morning, making a cup of tea and spending five minutes catching up with james and dean. those five minutes often extended to half an hour or more and i’d invariably land up leaving with a sore stomach, or tea dripping out my nose from laughing so much at james. sometimes the conversations were funny, sometimes insightful, sometimes just about how to repair a hole he’d punched in some drywall, but i always left a conversation with james feeling like i was better off than before. thanks you james. i’ll miss you. cosmo
