From Chris Palmer

I got to know James mainly when i was home from uni in the summers and holidays from 94 to 96, I was Ultimate mad and would always go down to practises provided i was'nt injured (about half the time). He was always there, and it was comical to hear his school stories. As many others have said, James was a comedian, he was often cracking jokes or taking the piss, often out of me, although i like to think i gave him better than i got. He also had very good skills and playing with/or against him was always excellent fun because he was always trying to have the best time by doing absurd things with a disc. James was friends with everybody and i remember when a really good american dude with a beard (i can't remember his name) who played with us for a summmer or so was leaving town; he'd really improved james game and he gave james his cap that he always wore as a leaving gift, I know this meant a lot to james. I swapped cambridge for edinburgh in 96 and didn't see james again till last year, at one of the tours, i almost didn't recognize him as he'd grown so much, his face was much leaner than i remembered. We chatted for a time, it was good to see him again after those few years, he still seemed to have the same sparkle and charisma i remembered from before. It upsets me deeply that i won't see him again.
