Sad news indeed.  :(

He was a source of inspiration, and not only for my own sweet self. There is some hope for the future of scepticism, with the likes of Stephen Woodford (YouTuber known as RationalityRules) bringing scepticism and rational thought to the younger crowd. They have big shoes to fill, but for a multitude of reasons, I think they will be alright.

Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

I loved his straight faced witticism especially with his duel with Uri Geller. He tackled the tricksters head on without flinching.

Uri Geller was quite rude about James after his death :(
