Jim Forrest (19 Dec 1952 - 2 Sep 2023)

God Bless you Jim, You were one of Lifes Good un's !
Rest peacefully
Love Bill and Maria xx

We still can’t believe that you’ve gone.

We will always treasure our fond memories of you which include; our welcome drinks hosted by you and Di when we moved in next door, you darting across the garden and scrambling into yours like James Bond at 7am one morning and you “supervising” our new fence construction.

We couldn’t have asked for a lovelier neighbour and friend. You are sorely missed.

Our love and condolences are extended to Di, Selina, Rich and of course Bailey.

With love,

Biz and Kerrie

Sending you all of our love xxx Laura, Pete & Bethany xxx

Selina, we are sending our love and deepest sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time. From the Bouhelier family

A true gentleman. Your love of life, kind and gentle nature and funny stories will always be fondly remembered by Steve and myself. All our love to Di, Selina and Riche xxx

Very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. We have such fond memories of happy and hilarious times with Jim and Di and family in Cape Town. Jim was such an intelligent and thoroughly nice man. Love and condolence to Di Selina and Richard

In memory of a wonderful friend

Sending all my love to Di and the children ahead of the funeral service tomorrow. I am lucky enough to work with lovely Di - we used to start at the crack of dawn together, but dear Jim would always get up with Di and unfailingly send her off at the door with "I love you". Such a wonderful relationship!
Di you know I'm here for you always, I'm very grateful for you, and our friendship xxx

I’ll tell you
A better friend a man will not have
Jim was like a brother to me
Taken far too early from us
Everything we aspire to be
Ever listening, hearing and understanding
Seriously talented and totally committed to all he did
A proud father to Riche and Selina
And loving husband to Di
My biggest pride was him by my side
As a comrade with much in common
We spoke often of experiences far and wide
Rest now my mate
Your soft soul and tough handshake I will always miss
Your smile and our fun times will be forever cherished

Words cannot express how devastated we all are at the sudden loss of Jim.

A golfing colleague for Pete who became a very special and dear family friend - one of life’s true gentlemen, learned, kind, caring, supportive and fun to be around - he will be sorely missed.

Di, Riche and Sabina - keeping you in our warmest thoughts as you navigate this difficult time on the loss of ‘your hero’ and wishing you hope and healing when you’re ready.

Pete, Joanne, Courtney, Adam, Adrian

and not forgetting Darcy who spent many hours cuddled up with Jim and going for long walks during our breaks away

Feeling so guilty that can’t come to funeral next week, so least I can do is donate here… I know we didn’t go for a while, but when I go to The Brook next, it’ll never be the same!

I was devastated to hear the news of the passing of Jim. I really enjoyed his company on and off the golf course. A truly lovely man. My thoughts are with you family members and Craig and Pete who were so close to him. Taken to early but Jim left his mark on so many people, his memory will live on with lots of us for sure. RIP mate.
