From the moment we met last year we became friends. Such a lovely likeable very humorous man. My deepest sympathy goes to his family and to those that deeply loved him. No more struggling within but now at peace.if
James and I met at the Ohope Club and we fell in love almost immediately. That was over four years ago. A lovely caring kind funny man but with a deeply troubled soul. A difficult three years but one I don't regret. Joshua, my special needs grandson, just loved James and James was exceptionally good to Joshua. Always taking the time to interact and make him laugh. Joshua loved to go to 'campsite' as we called it so he could show James his haka and throw his ball about. That meant so much to both of us. James, I shall always wear your ring and love you forever. I'm heart broken and have been since we parted. When all options had run out and there was no path forward, the heartache for both of us parting was immense. Your fight is now over. RIP🙏
