To my Cousin. I Will always remember you with love Jim and enjoy the memories of our childhood and the times we spent together you, me and Barbara. You were such a good man, father and friend to so many. You will be missed but also remembered with love.
Cowboy/Jim enriched my life in such a way that cannot be described over the last ten year that I knew him as a dear friend. He even gave me invaluable advice in April 2024 when I last saw him in the care home. I will cherish our love and fond memories forever...
To a great boss and loving uncle. Always there to help out. Thinking of you today Brian, Angela, Julie and family. RIP Karen Paolo & Nina

Dear Dave lots of fond memories of a dearly loved brother will miss you deepest sympathy to family love Pauline (sister)♥️
While often seen as a stern, stubborn man Uncle Jim had a big heart for those he loved. I will be eternally grateful for the love and support he and Auntie Barbara showed my Mum and my brothers and sister when our father died which support and love continued ever after. He is loved , he will be very much missed. Be at peace Uncle Jim x
