I have just started reading James' book Living Between Worlds. It is tremendous and very moving. I have just done a google search to find out more about this amazing man, to discover he's just died. My thoughts and condolences to his family. He leaves behind a wonderful, life-changing legacy. Gaynor Clements, Cambridge UK

I was very sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. Sincere condolences to you all. He was a good neighbour, friend and champion of causes. One of his legacies is the bus shelter in his area of Woodridge which he battled to have erected. He will be much missed by his family, friends and the community.

Thanks Dad for all the memories over the years. For your humour, and gift of the gab (passed on), which has kept us all amused. Rest easy and say hi to Mum. Xx
