It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful husband, dad, grandad and brother, James (Jim) Smith on Saturday, October 8th, 2022. Jim passed away peacefully at home, aged 75, surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous battle with prostate cancer. Over seven years, he never once complained, and always displayed incredible dignity, courage and humour right up until the very last day. The service will be held at Sutton Crematorium at 3:15, on Tuesday, October 25th. All are welcome to attend. In accordance with Jim’s wishes, the family plan to celebrate his life through humour and music. In lieu of flowers, donations will be accepted for Mary Ann Evans hospice in Nuneaton. Jim is survived by his wife Barbara, children, Kate and Chris Smith, son in law, Martin Wilkes, his brother Alan Smith, and his beloved grandchildren, Megan, Abigail, Alice, Ben and Olivia.

This news made me so sad. I shall always remember the runny egg sandwich with no plate trick and also the plots we made against Barbara when I was little. Sorry Barbara. RIP Jim, you were so much fun.

Jim was always a happy, positive soul who made us smile whenever we spent time with him. He was one of my Dads oldest friends and has been a constant figure throughout my life and I will dearly miss him. Your kind presence will always be remembered Jim. With Love from Fi and Sam xxx

Every time I saw you you, you always had that wry smile and you lit up the room with your dry sense of humour. Lots of lovely memories. I will miss you mate.

The memory of your friendship, unique humour and, of course, the music we’ve shared will always be with us.
A gentlemen to the end…..
