Tributes

Thank you for sharing the video. A beautiful service celebrating Uncle Jim’s life and evoking great memories of our childhood visits to the farm. As a young adult, I was inspired by Uncle Jim’s ability to adapt his farming practices and take on new challenges. And it was always a thrill to take a spin around the dance floor with him. Thank you Uncle Jim for teaching us townies about life on a farm. Invaluable lessons for life. Ruth xx

Dad, Thank you for the laughs playing cards, the many thrilling car rides powering out of the corners, letting me smoke your pipe so I never took up smoking, the ballroom dancing lessons, and the fashion advice - black and white is always right! Above all, thank you for installing a good work ethic in us and teaching us that with hard work you can succeed. Your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren all loved you. Rest in peace with Mum and Diane. Love Jude
