IT WAS WITH DEEP SADNESS THAT WE LEARNED OF THE DEATH OF JIM

1937 - 2017

Jim was a long standing member of the North Down Model Aircraft Club.   I am advised that he passed away peacefully in hospital, on Thursday 31st August after a long illness.

Jim is survived by his sister Bertha, his two brothers, Hugh and Wesley and his 'best friend' Jimmy.

Jim spent his early days at sea and would often recall to us some of his exploits and adventures on the high seas. 

As a young lad Jim served on board a Kelly's coal boat.  I remember him telling me that his bunk had no mattress. It was made of straw!  Jim was a quiet and unassuming individual and a delight to be around.

Very sadly missed.
