Dear Pat and family Sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching his family service online hearing about the lovely times he shared with everyone.
He certainly was a lovely person.

I remember Jim as a fine human being who I was fortunate to come to know principally as a member of the Eastbourne Bowling Club. He was always friendly and generous with his time. A man of strong values who I came to admire and value as a friend and, I may add, someone with a refreshing sense of humour. Kay and I extend our sympathy to Pat and family. We will all miss him greatly.
