Well Jim, many years ago I remember saying to you that Australia is only 24 hours away. Right now it seems a lot further than that. Jim, I tried hard to get back to Ryton, to be there with John to support you on your way, but it just wasn’t meant to be. You were the perfect gentleman and a very gentle man. You always remembered to send birthday cards, not only to me but to my family too. It still hasn’t sunk in Jim and I miss you so much. Say Hi to Mam, Dad and Gerard for me and to all our other family and friends when you get there Jim. I love you. Bernard
