We had the honor of getting to know James while we were setting up our foundation (stichting Eigen Gezicht) in 2005. He was very willing to help us and was already a strong supporter of an international alliance. We even discussed the possibility of starting Changing Faces The Netherlands. We will remember James as a man who tirelessly put his time and energy into his mission: equal treatment for people with facial differences. His passing is a great loss for Face Equality International and people with a facial difference. Rest in peace, James. Your star will shine brightly forever as you will remain a source of inspiration for us. Tonnie Landman, Janneke Hazelhoff, Tessa Schiethart & Patty Gerrits Stichting Eigen Gezicht - The Netherlands
