James was very sorry for the death of his faithful friend. Although he has a very big void, he will always be grateful to her and will never forget her.

James said:

“Bob saved my life, it’s as simple as that. He gave me so much more than company, with him by my side I found direction and purpose that had been lost to me. The success we achieved together through our books and movies was miraculous. He met thousands of people, touched millions of lives, there will never be a cat like him. I feel like the light went out in my life, I will never forget it.”
