I knew James simply as "murph". I remember a warm personality and a smile that could light up a room. Murph was the coolest kid at every party, sporting event, or even in class. When I say "cool" I mean that he was respectful of everyone, wether he knew you his whole life or you were just passing through for whatever reason and he always made you feel welcome and recognized. I feel for his family, and though I don't know him, I feel especially for his son. Rest Easy, Murph. We love you.
