Peacefully on 15 March 2026, aged 88, at Westella Homestead, Feilding. Loved husband to Jan (nee Mudgway) and father of Sharan (deceased), Steve, and Karl, and a loved granddad and great-granddad. A private service has been held for Jim, and a celebration of his life will be held at Ocean Beach where the family has so many special memories (date to be advised). Jim's family would like to thank the staff at Westella for their exceptional care in the last year of Jim's life, and Lychway Funeral Directors for their compassionate and respectful service.
