I will always remember Uncle Jimmy to be the life and soul of the party, always making people laugh and smile through his party antics and karaoke sets! These memories will never be forgotten! Sending my love to all the family and wish I could be there to hug you all! Lots of love Heidi x

To Lisa, Steve, Sybie, Maisie, Tania, Andrew, (Bampy) Bob and all the family thank you for a wonderful virtual service in memory of Uncle Jimmy! Full of happy and very sad emotions, through these unprecedented times Jimmy would have been so grateful for today! He most certainly would have been tuning in from up there, a glass in hand, cheersing after all your heartfelt funny memories and messages. Our uncle Jimmy was loved by so many! He lived a great life like you all told. He made us all laugh with his humorous spirit. Jimmys jokes, laughter,singing and moony”ing” il always remember! Sneaking cigarettes, or half a shandy’s to anyone that was underage at family gatherings :). He’s left an amazing rememberable imprint on all our hearts! Just as Nanny K has! She’ll welcome him with open arms, they’ll both be laughing and joking as we speak! Another family treasure that’s passed but most certainly never ever forgotten! Lots of love to you all!!
