Wonderful memories of dearest Wonderful memories of dearest Jim whilst growing up, which includes trips to London Zoo, cucumber sandwiches, eating more toasties in one sitting than I had ever seen before. A passion so deep for Spurs. An amazingly quick sense of humour, pinching my sweets and trips to the picture. I'll always remember the holidays to Great Yarmouth, especially the one when I was 8, where you grabbed my hand, running me down to freezing cold north sea, then remembing that you were still holding my hand and pulling me out of the water just in time 😆 amazingly quick sense of humour, pinching my sweets and trips to the pictures.

Jim RIP (The Don x) He was a lovely fella. I have good memories of us all with him at parties/weddings. He always was dressed to impress. I remember going round his gaff with having cups of tea. Good times.
Our thoughts are with you all xx
