Dale and I (Wendy) are so sorry to hear of James' passing. I remember him as a special young boy in school as he learned and played and his friendship with our son Jason. He was truly a special boy. We are sorry for your loss.

John, Tilly, Tara and John,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
I was thinking back to when we were kids and I remember visiting with your family. James and John were "play wrestling" with such passion and gusto... something I wasn't used to seeing since I was too much of a girly girl to wrestle with Jason. I remember wondering if they really were playing, or if they were seriously angry with one another. I contemplated "telling" on them, more to ease my own fears than anything else, but before I followed through, Tilly called that supper was ready and the two boys jumped up from their mess of tangled limbs, shot a huge smile at each other and bounded downstairs.
He will be missed. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Larter Family,
My mom (Sue Hawkins) just let me know of your loss. I know it's been many years (since I was a young girl) that we've been in touch, but I just wanted you to know that I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. What a broken world we live in. You will be in my and my husband's prayers.
God bless....

Joanne Leach just informed us of James' death. I remember so clearly John marching around the aisles of our church on Hughson Street, waving the Christian flag, with James following on his heals, grinning away. He was such a delight. Our heartfelt prayers are with you and your precious family.

I was just informed of James death and am at a loss for words.
It's been many years since I last saw James, but I've often wondered what became of him after leaving Hamilton. I recall having him stay at my house several years ago while he was briefly back out east. It was wonderful to stay up late at night and catch up on our lives.
I'm not surprised in the slightest to hear of his excellence in MMA and wrestling. He always loved wrestling as a kid! He was always trying new moves on me and tossing me around.
My deepest condolences to John, Tilly, Tara and John. James will be greatly missed.
July 26, 2009
I've known John since he was a little boy. All of us here in Hamilton are in shock. John and Tilly, please know that I am thinking about all of you right now and praying for the peace that passes all understanding. Please give Monique a big hug for me.

The three things I'll remember most about James is his love for God, his love for Monique and his entertaining and animated storytelling. He had a way of making the simplest of stories the funniest, and he had no reservations about laughing at himself. He will be truly missed by his friends and family, but I take comfort in knowing he is at peace with God.

I still can't believe your gone James. How I miss our daily talks to see how one another was doing that day. You were always there for me when I needed someone to talk to or needed advice. I remember driving up the street to your apartment late at night because you needed someone to talk to and I didn't want to but you always talked me into it and I would come to your place and we would talk till the early morning. I would give anything to do that again. When I came back from rehab you were the only person that still treated me as a friend. I will always remember the times we spent together and take the advice you gave me to heart. I will never forget you and look forward to seeing you on the future. God bless you my friend.
Your Friend Always,

It is truly heart breaking to hear of the lose of James. I had lost touch with him over the years but the memories and random encounters as recent as 2 years ago brought lots of great things flooding back. He was taken too soon. Rest assured he is heaven looking down and smiling as he loved his family and daughter more than anything. My thoughts are with you.

Hi Monique,
We are so saddened to hear of this tragedy. I remember your daddy with his smile, whenever he would pick you up from school. He will always be proud of you, and he loves you. He will always be your daddy. May you be showered with happy memories. Hold onto them, and talk about him, lots. They will help you through this time.
I know that we have never formally met, but you were my daughter's reading buddy, when she was in Kindergarten.
We are praying for you, and your family.
Love and prayers,

John, Tilly, Monique,Tara,Evan, John and Danit,
Both Tina and I were very sad to hear of the tragic death of James. We became friends the day we met, and I'll never forget the conversations about the Lord, and all of you...his family! He spoke positively in deep love for Christ and each of you.
John and Tilly, I only hope that we can have 1/2 the impact on our children that both of you have had on each and every one of yours!
This side of heaven we may not really know the impact you have each had as you spoke during the funeral service today.
May the God of mercy and comfort console you in this dark hour.

Monique,
My heart aches for you sweetheart. You are truly a blessed girl to have a father that loves, honors, cherishes and respects you the way your daddy does. Live your life for him and make him proud!
I only knew your father for a very short time but he was one of a kind, a true gentleman. He had the ability to touch someone’s heart and leave lasting memories, to make them think and realize there is a deeper meaning to life.
You will forever be in my prayers,

I can only imagine how difficult this time may be for you, as you are trying to cope with James passing away. Our hope and trust is in The Lord Jesus Christ, and only Him can give you the perfect Comfort and peace you need at this time.
Monique,
As hard and as unfair this might seem to you, I have the assurance that "Daddy-God" is going to continue to carry you in His arms in many years to come. Please remember that Jesus Christ loves us more than we can imagine and comprehend.
I will be praying for the entire family.
Be blessed,

To our dear Monique,
You are like part of our family and we love you, it broke our hearts to hear about your dad and we can only imagine the pain you are going through right now. I pray that our family could bare some of that pain for you. It was so wonderful to have you here with us today, to see you laughing and smiling a bit and telling us stories about your dad. You are welcome here anytime to laugh or cry or to do whatever you need to do. Your dad loved you and his family so much and I know he would have been thinking of you as he went to be with Jesus and that is where he will be waiting to see you all again. Please pass on our deepest sympathy to your Grandparents. Jesus loves you Monique and he loved your dad and although it is so sad it is also amazing to think that your dad is with Jesus now, talking to him, telling him about you, remember that when things seem difficult. We are here for you and praying for you.
With much love,

To the Larter family I send my deepest wishes to you. I worked with James for the last five months and he was such a great guy. He was always in a good mood and had lots of good stories to share and laugh about. We became pretty good friends in just a short time. To Monique your father would always talk about how much you ment to him and what a wonderful daughter you are. Always and forever remember that he will be looking down on you from above and how very proud of you he was. To You James thanks for all the laughs. R.I.P.

Larter Family,
We will miss the tremendous laughter that James brought to our lives and our home he was always so animated. He was such a good story teller and song writter ie-scratchy the cat. We valued his freindship greatly his passionate ways of conveying the simplest things. He made us look at things in new light and was a deep fun adventurous person. We count it as truly a great honor to have known him the photo is of the boys working on the mixer in the freezing cold all in their Carharts. Above all things our favorite conversations with James were always about the Lord he always would have a tear in his eye and such a broken kind heart for Christ. We will miss him greatly nobody has ever made us both laugh that hard. He always spoke with such respect for his family and a great love for his parents.

My heart is breaking for you at the loss of your son, brother and father. After you moved away from the Crescent we were happy to see you again as James brought Monique to school and as your family attended various activities there. From those encounters we could see that James was a loving, involved father and very proud of his daughter. We also know he loved his Lord and that James is now resting in the arms of Jesus. For the family left behind be comforted by God's great love for you and by the love and prayers of friends and family around you. Cherish the happy memories of James and the person who he was. Our prayers are with you.

Dear John and Matilda, Monique is in Erin's class at school and is a dear sweet little girl. We are praying for your family. I had only spoke with James a few times but wanted to share a story with you. I ran into James at a 7/11 one evening and he had just seen the movie 'Passion of the Christ'. He was so pumped about it and told me to be sure to see it. I know he is with Jesus and you will be reunited one day soon.

Please except our condolances. This is a shock to us as James is very young and his life has been cut too short. To the family, our prayers are with you.
"Death is swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" I Cor. 15:54b-55.
We have this hope in us that there is a life after this life. We grieve now for our loss. But James is alive and has just passed out of our sight for the moment. It is not the end, but rather a bend in the road.
