A gentle and genuine man who adored his family. Completely out numbered in his household of 3 daughters I have memories of many sleep overs and YFC gatherings where James would observe our antics with a smile and perhaps a shake of the head. When I wanted to enter a YFC competition to build a dry stone wall James stepped in to show me his expertise. He was kind and patient and so skilled, I have never forgotten this and even now when I am stacking logs I always think back to that day. Thinking of the whole family at this time, particularly Delia, Carol, Angela and Sue xxx
