That's simply too young.

Sadly, James was before my time here but I've gone back and read so many of his posts it's kind of like getting to know him. The info he has left behind is a treasure for anyone who frequents this board.

cheers, James (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Man, I can't believe this. When, what, how. I missed so much.
I did not know him well, but he was always helpful.

The good news is that he's still remembered, as well as memorialized for his uncanny knowledge.

Thanks for bringing it up Andy. I'll have 4 fingers of Cragganmore in his honor tonight.

I was fairly new on the forum when James passed. I remembered reading a post he just made and a couple of days later he was gone. What a shocker and sad. Then just about a year later it was Howards turn. Two very good knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful gentlemen.
