Extreme Veteran Posts: 594 Location: Melbourne, Australia | We lived about 10 miles apart and caught up often for a chat and a coffee; we swapped a few parts and bought and sold a few parts too, some of his desoto parts are on my car right now. He was a generous man in many ways and a wealth of knowledge which he was always happy to share. I admired his positive attitude since diagnosis October 2019 from memory ... Rest easy James, catch you on the other side....

Location: The Mile High City | Very sad news from Down Under James was a big ray of sunshine. All interactions with him were very positive. He was always willing to help, answer questions and chat. There are a few parts in my De Soto sent to me from James - now treasured all the more. Rest in peace, dear Adventurer! | ||
