Will forever miss you Big Bro.

James was Dear friend of mind. Wanted to come to the funeral but at 80 my wife would not let me drive from Jackson,ms to Birmingham alone. I also wanted to meet Mrs. Wright and tell her what a caring man he was and how I will miss his phone calls and our times together.

I met James at JSU. He coached my brothers in AAU at Kurt's Gym. He could talk about you and have you laughing at yourself. Nevertheless, always a gentleman. Definitely one-of-a-kind. I'll miss that infectious smile and laugh. I am honored to have had you as one of my closest friends. Until we meet again...God Bless! Praying for the Wright family.
