Not sure what to say?

I am so sad to learn of the passing of James. He and I were pals, many decades ago in Austin. What a kind soul and a wonderful musician. I always loved hearing him play “Sweat Leukemia.” I hope that his passing was easy. My heart aches to learn this sad news.

Five years later and the impact on the world around James remains very strong and very positive.

James was a very good friend, more like family. It was always a fun time just sitting around talking with him or hearing his and linda's stories. I am glad i was able to be a part of his life and he a part of mine. I will never forget him. love you and miss you grandpa, but I know you are in a better place now with no pain.

James you were a fun loving and gentle soul. Always so much fun to be around. You always stepped up when needed with you Let's Do It attitude. You acute attention to detail and a passionate piano player. A visionary. Play on our dear friend.

My friend James was a wonderful person. He had a way of putting
people at ease. His music and sense of humor was unforgettable. James and Linda put so much joy in seniors lives with their Joy In Action program. We will miss him so very much.

So sorry for your loss, Linda and Beth. Love you both. Hugs.

Uncle James was my aunts long time companion. He played at my wedding 15 years ago. Everyone agreed that his music was the icing on the cake.

James was like a granfather to me and even more to my brother. He will be greatly missed. His music made me smile like no other. He was the best!
