James HUTTON Obituary

What a fabulous and inspirational man. Always a delight to hear his many stories on the radio. Gentleman Jim will be greatly missed. Best wishes, Alison.

I knew of Jim only through listening to Newstalk ZB at nighttime when I couldn´t sleep. It was always interesting listening to Jim´s wise words and generous knowledge. What a wonderful gentleman, and one so proud to share his respected career stories as a veterinary pathologist. Thank you Jim for all your calls in to the radio show. You will be missed dearly by me and by many others.
Rest peacefully now.

Have been wondering where Jim has been of late. Been missing him on ZB overnight. Sadly missed from our talkback family.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Jim. I enjoyed listening to him on Newstalk ZB and the interesting stories he had to tell. RIP.

Sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. Always enjoyed his calls to ZB. I´ll miss him.

To an admirable brother and a beloved friend. We will miss you Jim.
Much loved and respected by Helen and Ali and the late Don, Jean and Dave.
Remembered fondly by all your sister and brother in-laws, nieces and nephews. You lived your life to the full Jim and loved the outdoors. Enjoyed mountaineering, tramping, skiing, kayaking and cycling for the freedom and adventure it gave you. Despite health challengers in latter years you found enthusiasm for new projects that gave you joy and a sense of purpose. You loved to share your knowledge and experiences and being part of the ZB family became your lifeline.
Always so thankful for everything anyone did for him, I would like to thank all those who put comments on Jim's obituary, Thankyou for caring. Ali

A most endearing man to listen to on Newstalk ZB at night. So knowlegeable and thought provoking. His input will be missed. RIP

I too was a ZB follower of Jim, and loved his stories he would tell us of tramping trips and other antics he'd get up to. His advice was always sound, carefully considered, and could always be trusted. Such a genuine guy, with a wonderful sense of humour.
Go well, Jim.

Condolences to Jims Family and Friends.
Loved listening to him on the talk back. A lovely gentleman, so fill of useful
knowledge and wisdom.
Will miss him. RIP Jim. Rest now.

All the ZB talk back listeners will miss Jim the veterinary pathologist - I´m in my early 50s and on many a night when I had insomnia from this stage of life I would tune in and always hope to hear a story from Jim in the wee hours. Caller after caller would then reference the interesting insights Jim had offered. We were all missing him and were wondering where he was, not realising he was journeying to his next adventure. Go well Jim. Condolences to your loved ones

Jim was a joy to have on air with us at Newstalk ZB. I loved his mountaineering and veterinary related stories. A true gentleman, loved by many. Rest in peace Jim.... Roman Travers.

I was sorry to learn of Jim's passing; I first knew him when my late husband (Charles Broad ) and I sent many samples into the Animal Health Lab from both our Vet Clinic and Avian Quarantine and then more recently enjoyed listening to him on Talkback radio! My condolences to his family. From staff at AABH and Beverley Broad

We loved Jim telling his life stories on Newstalkzb. We will miss him.

Remembered fondly his calls to News talk zb.
Knowlegable and always interesting.

I appreciate Jim´s work at the Prebbleton pit and have loved hearing his thoughts on talk back radio. A good man.
Condolences to family.

I have fond memories of Jim at the Lincoln Animal Health Lab. We would sit at the double-header microscope in his office looking at histology slides. He would happily spend time explaining to me what we were looking at. I found it so interesting. He was such a knowledgable and lovely man.

A wonderful gentle man and colleague. My thoughts are with the family.

New Zealand Veterinary Science students had to study in Australia before the 1960s. Jim's enthusiasm in the University of Queensland Bushwalking Club for the mountains of the South Island was contagious and played a part in my eventual move to NZ. I enjoyed many trips with Jim during the late 50s/early 60s.
My sincere condolences.

Pam and John Fletcher send their sincere condolences. We remember him as a lovely man

We met Jim Hutton in the early 1960s during our Veterinary Science studies. Jim also had similar interests in tramping, climbing and, later, in pathology and conservation. We kept contact over the years and came to admire Jim's critical thinking and gentle nature. Our journeys have been enriched by having known him,
