I didn't really know James, but having lost family members and Dharma friends, I understand how some of you may be feeling. Sending metta....
Wishing: In gladness and in safety,
May all beings be at ease.

I should probably check on announcements more often. 
This is terrible news.
I wish him peace and metta from this life into the next.

Wah, I am speechless.
Had no idea this had occurred. Silly that I happened to visit a forum I'd not been on in months to hear this news.
I met James a few times. He was an extremely warm and genuine person, and he loved the Dhamma. Doubtless he has a few positive rebirths in store.
Best wishes to James' family and all.

What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us

This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond.

He is. 
The going for refuge is the door of entrance to the teachings of the Buddha.

Birthdays are great days, they are always her to remember the gift we have been given by an other person.
I didn't knew him, but here are a lot of people who like to celebrate: JCSuperstar
So party for JCSuperstar where ever he may be around actually!

Just that! *smile*
...We Buddhists must find the courage to leave our temples and enter the temples of human experience, temples that are filled with suffering. If we listen to Buddha, Christ, or Gandhi, we can do nothing else. The refugee camps, the prisons, the ghettos, and the battlefields will become our temples. We have so much work to do. ...

BUT! it is important to become a real Buddhist first. Like Punna did: Punna Sutta Nate sante baram sokham _()_

May JC be well wherever he is (surely in some deva realm)

Indeed!
...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.
