A genuine top bloke who always had time for others. Pretty handy with that racquet also.

Hard to grasp that I won't be seeing James again @ the gym. He was part of a group of guys who enjoyed his company and had plenty of laughs. His passing came as a huge shock to us all as he was always positive and full of energy. I will miss him.
Our thoughts are with you, Laraine, and your family.
