2. Pa was a bloody legend who left his mark on everyone he met. I take comfort that he’s up there now telling stories (even though he’s apparently lost his memory) whistling away and spending time with all our loved ones who we lost to soon. So whether you are there today or watching from afar let’s give him the send off he deserves as distance can’t change the fact we are all together in our hearts. Till we meet again champ big luvs xox

3. My dearest Uncle Jim. What a special man you were. Jack and I loved our yearly catch up and lunch at the pub. You always remembered all of my children and the activities they enjoyed and always asked after each one and also Wendy and Geoff. I loved your stories and your sense of humour. My kids called you BFG from the book big friendly giant. That’s how we remember you. Love to all the family. Tracey Simic

4. My beautiful dad, I will always feel that warm enveloping hug you gave me when Shane died. Then again I will embrace the memories of our days growing up on the farm, the hard times and the good times. I will miss your stories especially the funny ones and your whistling and your music. You have touched so many lives and will be missed by many. Rest in Peace with your beloved Joan and Peter 💔💖

5. Condolences to the family. I had the privilege of catching up with Jim at “Morning melodies “ at Raffertys in Warrnambool in 2019. I was very impressed that someone of that age was getting out to musical activities. RIP

6. My knowledgeable, caring, story telling, loving Pa. I have the most amazing memories of chatting with you that will stay with me forever. The “Norm Harris” story is probably my favourite and Marks too (even though we heard it every time we saw you ha ha). Not only have you been one of the biggest influences in my life, but also the lives of my 2 big boys Tys & Lukey who I know will share stories of Pa Jim with their little brother Patrick, who was very lucky to meet you. We will all miss you immensely and love you forever, Shell, Mark, Tys, Lukey and Patrick
