I met James approximately 3 years ago at the Mountain View senior center.I truly believe that he was doing what he enjoyed the most there.Although he had taken a considerable amount of time away he was back playing pool.For me it was a student teacher relationship as I was hungry for knowledge and James was a master player.Although he was a tremendous player more importantly he was a man of character and an incredible human being.I think of him often while playing and miss him so much.I look forward to the time when I will be with him once again battling out on the big table in the sky.Part of him lives on in me and I will do my best to finish the game.
