Feel this needs a nudge up the board

A lot of the "older" members, not in terms of age but in membership, must remember Jim

Im as so shocked & sad to be reading this

R.I.P Grandpa Jim & my condolences to all his family

I don't think that I remember Grampa Jim personally, but I do remember our lovely Jean Durant telling me something that he said re. genealogy. So in memory of Jean I'll say RIP Jim.

Thank you, Kay.

I am sad that Grampa Jim is no longer with us, and send my condolences to his family.

Jim was in this site from when it was Genes Connected. I met him twice at meets, at one in Portsmouth and another in Poole; he kindly gave me a lift to the latter. He had a lovely sense of humour and was a warm human being.

Missing you, Jim. Rest in peace.

Very sad to hear about Jim or "Jim on the Solent " as he was known in the early days. He always loved to arrange a meet somewhere.

Condolences to his friends and family,

Rose

I am sorry to hear this news, I remember his posts from way back, he was always a pleasant man

I don't think I ever spoke to Grampa Jim but after reading all the post he was abviously a well thought of gentleman.

My condolences to all his family and friend's

R.I.P Jim with the Angel's and all your friend's off here who have gone before you.

Rest in Peace dear Grampa Jim - a real gentleman.

I have had the pleasure of meeting him at Exeter meets and I was only enquiring 3 or 4 weeks ago whether he had been informed about this years meet. I was told that he couldn't come because of a bad foot, so his death has come as a real shock to me.

I shall treasure our chats and the lovely photo I have of you from one of the meets.

Would it be possible to get this thread to the family for them to read when ready how much "their lovely" Jim was regarded by many fellow members.

Jim was a facebook friend of mine, Kay. His brother posted on there to let us know, would it be appropriate for me to C & P this in a FB message, do you think?
