My deepest sympathy to Doreen and family in the lost of our cousin Jimmy. I remember as a small child being so proud that I had a cousin representing NZ at the Commonwealth games in Australia and since growing up have always looked up to Jimmy as a kind and caring person. My thoughts go out to you all including Nancy in Australia and Joan.
