Condolences to all the James family.
Have many fond memories of our times growing up in Kumara, we were very competitive towards each other, and I would hate to think of how many stone bruises racing Raymond home every day in bare feet and gravel roads, a load of fun. Memories that I treasure. Bill (Brusher) Ryall. Raymond gifted me this nickname
