JIM... Jim has always been my rock. Some one always there to lend a hand, provides muscle, shares ideas and information and to put ideas in to practice. For the seven years have been quiet, he still managed regular visits which brightens my other wise dull life. Jim always drove me to my sisters place, vivian, lives in Otaki. Viv would always make use of jims abilities and on one occasions wanted an old 25inch TV put on a shoulder height shelf in her bed room. This was really a two man lift as the old tv was heavy and bulky. But no sweat to Big jim he got this sway going and used his momentuim to get the tv up. We just sat back in awe and graditude. Their were many other instances, ie putting hand control on my car and fiddling around doing general maintainaince and tuning, going saling or trips with my four wheel motor bike or shouting on friday night fish n chips. Once again many thanks ,a good friend.
