    always a nice man Jim,apart from the bloody cigars.
    without him that club would have died,its a credit the effort he has put into that group.

    Hi guys, I'm on the club's committee, Jim is fading away now, He has had a lung removed for fairly obvious reasons and his other one Isn't in good shape at all, cannot breathe unassisted. I visited him on Friday and his brain is functioning fine, his body is falling apart around him however. I'm due to see him later on today again so I'll pass on my regards. At the current rate I don't think he'll see another month out. We''ve said that before and he's always rallied but all his strength is gone so the tough old warhorse is slowly fading. Very sad.
