Dear Leonie
My partner Brendon and I had the privilege of meeting both Jim and you late last year at a birthday celebration in Heathcote. The lovely extended conversation we shared at the dinner table had an impact on me at the time and will be treasured even more now.
I recall Jim's initially quiet presence and engaging conversation being complimented perfectly when you joined us and we covered some interesting and lively topics. I recall Jim's quiet humour, thoughtfulness and intelligence as well as his gentle smile and banter with you. It was obvious that you shared a very special partnership.
I was so very sorry to hear of Jim's passing.
Brendon and I extend our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to you and Jim's extended family at this unbearable time.
We will continue to keep you in our thoughts ongoing.

To Leonie and family. Jim was one of the kindest, thoughtful and most supportive colleagues that I had the privilege of working with at PA. Jim certainly made the world a better place while he was here. My deepest condolences.
