Jimbo - I’m going to miss our ph call conversations about……………………….well whatever was happening on the day. You leave us with so many great workplace and life memories that we shall never forget. I’ll continue to tell those stories mate. Top man!

So sad to hear Jim has passed away Such a great guy. Condolences to you Catherine and your family. Paul &Trish Julian Okato

A brother passed way to soon and far to quick, now who's going to keep me upto date with rugby,racing cricket and all manner of worldly news, we will really miss these conversations.Will miss you plenty,Sam (Barry)and my family

RIP Jim An absolutely charming gentleman whose sunny character will be very missed at the Stratford Avon Bowling Club.

I'm totally shocked, I worked with Jim at Fonterra for many years and the usual banter about rugby and racing was always top of the list but also the love he had for his family was so obvious and he often talked about you all with admiration. Be proud, he worked hard (probably longer than he should have) and was so happy when he retired. I only bumped into once after that and he was loving life at the time. Farewell Jim, so glad to have known you. RIP

My love and thoughts are with Catherine and her family/lies Treasure the many happy years you both shared of a loved and loving husband, father-in-law and Granddad Moya xxxx (Pitcaithly), Eltham
