We will miss you Jim. Thanks for all the good times, especially the impressive fireworks and closely monitored snooker lessons. Much love, Megan and Jo xx

Jim, We have been pleased and privileged to have known you, Pam and your family. We remember so many good times in Whangapoa. God bless you. Jane and John

He will be deeply missed. Always loved going to see him in New Plymouth

My deepest condolences to you all. A long life well lived Jim. What a good natured, generous and lucky man. Well deserving of all the love and care that he received right up until the very end. My thoughts are with you all. Much love Rebekah

So sorry to hear of Uncle Jims passing. Will always remember his welcoming/warm big smile & great laugh. So sorry dad & I can't make it to New Plymouth for the service. Our thoughts will be with you as you celebrate his life this afternoon.

My deepest condolences to John, Ann, Matthew, Susannah, Faith & families. Audrey & I shared many a great time with Jim, Beverley, Pam & family. Our friendship goes back to the 1950s - Jim was our best man. Unfortunately I am unable to attend Jims service today in person. My thoughts are with you all.

Wishes to be remembered to you all at this sad time. It has been lovely to have known you all as a family.

My condolences to all the Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I will miss visiting Jim on Friday afternoon, having a cup tea and a chat, my Friday's won’t be the same.

Our deepest sympathy to John, Ann, Mathew, Susannah, Faith and the greater family. He was a very caring father to you all. Love from Nigs & Pixie McNeill
