Yes, you are right “it’s a little late to be saying that” for James. I suppose the statement could be viewed as a selfish one. But, I made the statement without the need to conceal my identity because I ment it.
The fact that I could not relate the same to him before his passing will be something I will have to live with.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious “it’s a little late to be saying that.”. Remember, the focus here is James and the love ones he left behind. Raising money for his funeral. The issue here is neither about me nor about any other person who has commented on this unforgetable tragedy.

I’m sorry this happened to you James. I’m really sorry for being mad at you the last time I saw you for something so insignificant. I’m sorry, my friend. You were a geneously pleasant and giving indivudual. R.I.P.
