Dear Sandra, I am so sorry to find out the sad news about James. Having known him as a high school classmate and neighbor we shared many great times together in our youth. From his Cushman motor scooter to his 1st Ford, we ran the roads of Pasadena in the early '60s. I know James has a million friends who will miss him dearly. May he rest in peace.

James was a very dear friend and became a very significant part of my life over the last few years. I will miss him greatly, as I am sure he will be by many others as well. He was always looking for the next big adventure..... I think he found it !

To The Barnett Family,

My heart is saddened by the loss you are all dealing with. I can remember the days in junior high when Sandra and James trusted us girls to drive their cars up and down their winding driveway over a creek! Bless him for his trusting side, because if he saw how I drove the Excalibur he would have thought differently! He and Sandra were a big part of my life growing up. I looked up to him and he treated me as I was his own. My love, thoughts, and prayers go out to all of you. I can honestly say I KNOW how you are grieving these losses over the last two months.....I and my family experienced the same within a month. Sandra be strong and have faith! I know you will rise and smile again someday just as my mother, Gayle did. I am praying for you all.
