In his younger days he played cricket for Rishton and Accrington but most of all loved spending time with his family, especially his granddaughter Rachel. Jim will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. A special thank you to all the staff at Hope House Care Home, Acute Medical Unit A at Royal Blackburn Hospital, neighbour and friend Nan and the late Ken, also a special thank you to David and Margaret Pilkington, his next door neighbours of 53 years, looking after him so much.
