With deepest sympathy to Jim's large family, he was so proud of you. Jim was always ready to help with a willing smile. Also, he and Bernice gave long and tireless service to the Red Cross Port Fairy, among many other community organisations. You will be missed Jim, and remembered as a good friend to Fred and myself.
