When you think of Uncle James you alway do it with a smile and you think of kindness. Family was Uncles super power! He loved nothing more than to spend time with his family, talking, reminiscing and having lots of laughs! He was the most loving son, husband, father, brother and Uncle how blessed we were to have shared our love and life with him. Rest easy now Uncle we love you!

To my lovely brother James, coming from a family of ten all of whom were special in there own right you stood out as a super special person, we had some great times and had some not so great times but I wouldn’t change any of it. There were days that you lifted me out of despair and you never knew the joy you brought. I will miss our truck chats in fact I will miss all our chats. You have left a lot of very very sad people behind but we take some joy that you are out of all pain and sitting talking to your Mum and Dad sister Pam and your nephews Stephen and Jason Rest easy you old trucker Brother Fin
