One of the most wonderful men I have ever met in my life. Jim used to call me Moneypenny, his little joke due to my English accent and his name... He was always a ray of sunshine, always upbeat and positive, and he will be missed more than words could ever say. We swam with dolphins together back in 1999, just after my cancer surgery, and he was like a father to my when my dad passed away from cancer. His joy and happiness will live on with his friends and family forever. With love always from Jackie.
