Sincere condolences to Craig, Peggy, Brent and Sue and their families on the loss of a true gentle man who was a delight to have as my Uncle Jim. I will remember him every day as we have one of his magnificent paintings on our bedroom wall that catches my eye all the time. An orchid will remind me of the beautiful orchids he had in the hothouse garden in Richmond Crescent and his generosity in giving us orchids for the Bridal party to wear back in February 1971. His talent as an artist was often kept hidden but it was definately a large part of Uncle Jim's leisure time and anyone who owns one of his works should treasure it even more now. He was kind, gentle, patient and a very humble man who never pushed into others lives, he was there if they needed him to talk with knowing it would be kept a confidence. The world has been a much better place for having Uncle Jim in it for so many years. Rest In Peace and I like to think Aunty Meg is with you once more. Love from Faye and family XXXXX
