Not sure what to say?

Dooooctor Burton! I will miss seeing you at work with your unfailing, genuine greeting of Dooooctor Kwon! I will miss talking about the good old Army days, even though we served at different times. That's okay because the camaraderie is one and the same. I'm sorry for not bringing Korean food the next day. I was too lazy and of course I regret it. I hope you are having a blast in heaven, meeting tons of people, maybe even my mom. You deserve a life of paradise after all you've done for...

You were so brave and strong this last year. You mean so much to me, Mom, John, Jeffe, Franklin & Seanny. Thank you for making me smile when you did. You were the kind of guy that had relatable humor & the only man I know that would sit through musicals, even if you fell asleep towards the end.

I miss your hello, bye bye's, your Thank you very much's and time with our family.

I will miss seeing you walk in late, your shoes at the front & being around your wittiness,...

Rest in peace, dear James. It is with great sadness we say good-bye to you. We feel blessed to have known you and to have you become part of our extended family. It was a pleasure to have your quiet, pleasant presence at so many of our family celebrations and get-togethers. We will miss you, but your kind, gentle spirit will live on in our hearts forever. Ruben, Paula, and family

James, it was a pleasure knowing you and making your acquaintance. You brought the very best to work every single day, and I was deeply impressed by your humility, dedication, and impressive knowledge and work ethic. You left a mark on a lot of people at work in a very good way, and I am fortunate to have been able to call you my friend. You will be missed. -SK.

I miss the quiet, gentle way that complimented your twin brother's personality, and the stories and perspectives you two had about your childhood. The insight,humor and wit of your tales made me smile.
You were so brave during the last year and a half. I hope we helped you through this.
I loved the way you would sit with Seanny by the fireplace hearth and set up Thomas train tracks and indulge his imagination of Sodor.
I loved you as my brother and will always think of you with...

Part of my son's name Jamiyus, is for Uncle James & I'm glad James was able to meet the baby. "Hi" he said.
I will share with the children stories & pictures with them, so we can keep him forever in our hearts.

James,I will miss you and all the laughs we shared,Matt

You'll be missed by all of us in NY and California

James, you will be forever loved and carried in our hearts. Carolyn
