Hi David, thanks for taking the time to share this bad news with the list.
That's a very sad news.
The paypal account recently received around 100 euros from a couple of
donators.
I'll give that money back for James' funeral, and will add a bit or two to
the pot.
I didn't know very well James but I remember a kind a pleasant person while
we discussed about Dancer. I'm sad he passed away in such an unexpected and
tragic way.
May the peace be with his soul.
