I have very fond memories of Rev James, Aunty Latika and the kids. Our friend and family circles intersected on many levels but he was also our Parish Priest for some of the best years of our life in Colombo. I never tired of listening to his sermons, flawlessly delivered with perfect diction and invariably spiced with anecdotes from his time in Malaysia. He was the quintessential Anglican Parish priest and a good shepherd to his flock. Fr James was gentle yet firm, humble yet able to command your attention when he walked into a room. Whilst it is sad to have lost a man of such stature, I am thankful to have had him touch our lives. Whilst Fr James will undoubtedly be missed by Aunty Latika, Deveshta, Prasadini and David, they can rest assured that he lives on in our hearts. Much Love, Vasee
