James was my God father, and never once missed a milestone in my life, from my 21st, to getting married to by buying our first home. He will be dearly missed in our family, we were all very shocked to hear this news so late. We cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for our family and that he did for others.
Rest Easy Jimmy! Forever in our hearts
From the Whight and Saunders Family

Jim was a close friend for more than 50yrs. We certainly had our share of fun, laughter and just enjoying what each day offered. He raised a spark and smile wherever he went. Children were drawn to him and loved his very essence. He would stand by and offer sound advice. He cared, he loved, but most of all he loved his family and friends.
Jim you were a top man, the friend everyone hopes to attract. Your words of guidance when going through life's tragedies were always with care and love.
Rest in peace by friend knowing you lived well, and touched the hearts of many. God Bless your soul.
Your friend in Solidarity
