He commented on a photo of his parents that he hoped they would make it to their diamond anniversary in 2014; it is so sad that Jams went first. :( And so close to his birthday! He was just ten months older than me.Knatoleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03809822081515082096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-90151584781682868112013-04-03T09:49:13.309+02:002013-04-03T09:49:13.309+02:00Beautifully said, Sean.

I miss Jams too – his wit, honesty, no-nonsense musings on politics, art, cats and humans and other creatures that benefited from his photographic talent.

With his no-nonsense mind, he always caught the essential of what had been said.

I'm so pleased to see all the heartfelt words people have to say about Shaun.<br />My tribute missed out on a lot of things that I could have said because I was compelled to post it pretty much as soon as I heard of his untimely death. 49 is too young to die, especially if you happen to be such a fine fellow with a social conscience, a good sense of humour, a beautiful collection of photos and a generous and kind nature.<br />I do miss him.Syncopated Eyeballhttp://syncopatedeyeball.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-21826708755369736252013-03-30T20:32:22.110+01:002013-03-30T20:32:22.110+01:00No words of condolence can encompass the pain of l...No words of condolence can encompass the pain of losing someone close to us. Only our shared understanding that none of us are here permanently allows for those messages to be accepted and, perhaps, appreciated. <br /><br />I offered my own brief comment on Jams' last post as a message of love to his family. The photograph he posted, the one that turned out to be his last, was achingly poignant. Although I didn't know him at all, except through his blog in the last couple of years, it was my impression Jams would have described himself as an atheist. I respect that belief even though my own opinion on the matter is that we still don't (and may never) have enough information about the subject to draw any final conclusion. My hope is that he was surprised by a cloud of angels welcoming him home - followed by a pint of plain with Flann O'Brian and his dear uncle who died last year.<br /><br />Losing Jams so suddenly should serve as a reminder to us all to treasure one another. I'm glad to have known him and I'm equally glad I have years worth of posts to review. I love the The Tayside Tragedian on the Bard you linked to. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this lovely memorial, Sean.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507673653895812509.post-8175302748089527922013-03-30T19:50:06.821+01:002013-03-30T19:50:06.821+01:00Tears...Tears...Tears...Oh!
