I was shocked and distressed to hear of the passing of a dear friend recently. It was untimely, unexpected as apparently he suffered a heart attack, at only age 42.
We became friends and then bf/gf at university, studied music together, and when asked I contributed to his final piece for his degree.
We enjoyed each other's company and a, mostly, platonic relationship for a while.
We kept in touch and stayed friends for many years. From time to time we would chat/text/randomly cross paths and always have time for each other for a chat right up until just last month.
I learned of his passing on the Sunday, the 4th of September, however he had passed on 25/08/2022.
He was a kind, gentle and intelligent soul, with a dry sense of humour, an exceptionally talented musician and although he had struggles found a way to express himself using his talents.
His YouTube music channel is 'Ether Jay':

Please watch/listen to remember him by.
Rest In Peace James/Jim (Turnbull)
Take care my friend
Up there
your friend,
