James will truly be missed. His free spirit and kindness will always carry on. He surprised us with a phone call in Jamaica while we were on our honeymoon and he just happened to be there as well. He wanted us to meet his friends and show us the town of Negril. I will never forget that day and how happy he was that we came to see him. We had all talked about a trip again to Jamaica... we will be sure to make that trip and remember him and his kind nature. Were very sorry for your loss. We wish we could be home in Richmnd to pay our respects. Peace~ Laura and Jason May

Mrs. Bowen and Joan,
James will surely be missed by us. He was a good friend and always made us smile. Richmond will not be the same without him. Meeting up with James while we were in Jamaica in February was the highlight of our trip. Our thoughts are with you. Jason and Laura May
