From Natalie Visser

I can't tell you how upsetting are these news. Back at home I have been trying to recollect things from James like old pictures, a little mug that he gave me for my birthday, little things that have always meant a lot to me. As a foreigner, he always made me feel at home and his smile was ever so refreshing. James was outstandingly athletic, he always seemed to have an incredible ability to learn and pick up skills easily.

In the pitch he liked to work hard and he was very good. For those who remember, I think he came out with 'fancy shit' and described how painful was one of his lay outs with: 'shit, I haven't landed yet!!!' Not surprisingly he was a lot of girls's platonic love, including me, particularly when I first found out he was almost 8 years younger than me!! oh well!!

But beyond his great skills and abilities, James was a very fair and kind person, a quality that reflected the way he treated others (I remember particularly his brother). I will always think of James as a very strong and loving character. Last time I saw him was during the COED tournament in Cambridge this year, and I am so glad I got to see you one more time and recieved such a unique and embracing hug. Very many thanks. I will miss and remember you. Love, Natalie

PS: Dave, please pass my regards particularly to his mom and brother.
