  2. To Amelia and Family,
    Our loving sympathy to you all on the passing of your dear Jim.
    It was an honour to have had Jim's involvement in Do Care for over 15 years. At their monthly gathering yesterday, our Men's Group shared some great memories of their long time friendships with Jim. They will miss him dreadfully. As will you all. Maybe it will help to know how well-regarded he was right across the community. And he spoke so proudly and lovingly about his family.

  3. Dear Amelia and Family, we were very sad to hear of Jim's passing. We are sorry we didn't hear about it in time to attend the funeral. Jim was a real gentleman. Always very interested in everything that was happening in our lives whenever we met. He always put the focus on whoever he was speaking with, and had that gift of making you feel special and important. We didn't see him a lot, but whenever we met, he was always intensely interested in us, and humbly not looking for any attention for himself. A special man, with a kind heart, and the capacity to make you feel good about yourself. Our thoughts are with you all at this time. Our heartfelt condolences.
    Franco and Margaret Cavalieri and family.

  8. A gentle gentleman. Jim was so much a part of St Brendan's community - considerate, caring, concerned for all ..... And so generous on a practical level. He was committed to supporting the Good Sams at the Centre and care of the grounds. Be at peace Jim, your good deeds go before you. Rest In Eternal life with the God you were so faithful to.
