Jim. A perfect gentleman and a very special friend. Remembering the fun times, your sense of adventure, the music, fun and laughter. You’ll always have a special place in my heart. RIP my friend

Jim, we met when we were 16, you were with your best friend, Kevin in a classic Ford coupe. You and your lovely family were a huge part of my life for 10+ years. Although we have moved on, and in my case moved overseas, I fondly remember the fun times we had back in the day. You were much loved by your friends and family and it makes me happy to see you had a fun and full life. Thank you for being part of mine. Rest in peace dear man.

Jimmy, we had great times as young lads. I am so grateful we were able to catch up recently in Te Aroha and have a yarn about the old days, over lunch. Little did I know then, that was the last time we would see each other. RIP.

SHARP, James Michael. 29 June 1949 - 17 May 2025 Loved by his sister Ann and brother-in-law, Gary. An awesome uncle to Jamie and Gareth, whom they spent a lot of time with on holidays and in Whitianga. It's left a hole in our family. Rest in peace Jim. Love you always.
