You fell asleep without saying goodbye,
but my memories of you will never die.
I am forever grateful I had the chance to know you.
My sincere condolences to Freda and all the family.
With my love always,

Dear Daddy ... you were one of a kind! You were a very kind and gentle soul, who sacrificed so much of yourself for others, the half of which most will never know. For me, you were always a very present help in times of trouble and a trusted guide whose advice I always sought. I am so sorry I could not be there for you, but you are never far from my thoughts. I will always love and miss you.
Till we meet again. Carol xx

Dear Freda, Pauline, Angelo, Rachel and James,
My heart aches for you all at this time at the loss of a great husband wonderful father and an amazing grandad. Jim was just the most kind, compassionate and loyal man I've ever known. He was so genuine and upright, I loved him so, so much.
Your Dad’s love and strength got me through some of the darkest days in my life and any time I needed anything a talk or guidance Jim was there. We as a family felt loved by him and to me, he was Uncle Jim a gift from God a truly loyal friend who wanted what was good for me and my girls.
No words suffice at the deep sadness I feel of his passing. I want you to know we will be praying for you all at this time.
Jim loved His saviour and he was a faithful servant of God.I rejoice in the fact we will see him in glory.
My sincere condolences for your loss.

There are no words that can describe what a very special father you were, and how I feel right now. You loved your girls and the rest of the family. You loved my mother with a full heart. I am sorry I could not be there for your passing, but I knew that you would always be there for us. You always wanted the best for everyone, and you worked all your days to provide for your family.
Now that you have run your race, you can rest in God’s eternal peace. I miss you already and cry to think I will not see you for a while. You have been a special blessing in my life and within the lives of my family. I can see you smiling and talking to my kids sitting at my kitchen table. I also see you at the Church door giving lollies to the kids going into Sunday School. I occasionally get your hymn book you used at use at Church and recognise your writing and quietly smile. I see your love everywhere and feel blessed to have had you as my father.
I love you Dad and I will always love you. You did the best you could and I can’t wait to see you again in heaven. Until then, I will see you in my dreams.

Jim, you will be very sadly missed by me but I know that you have gone to a better place. May the Lord keep you close with Him.
You were a wonderful man who always had time for others and were a devoted and loving Christian who displayed Christianity in his walk. Thank you for giving me your daughter to look after 32 years ago and we already miss you so much. I pray that your earthly witness will be an example for others to follow. With much love.

It is with many tears but a full heart that I write this. I am blessed to have so many great memories of you and I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to call you my Grandfather. I will always cherish the time we have spent together. I want you to know that you have had such a profound impact on my life and I would not be the man I am today without you.

To my dearest grandfather, I hope the view in heaven is as beautiful as you described it to me as a little girl. I am going to miss you dearly. You have touched my life and so many others in more ways than you know. You were a devoted father, husband and grandpa and set my standards for men very high. I love you so much and have been very lucky to have had so many fond memories together. Thank you for being in my life. This is not a goodbye - it is a see you soon. Can’t wait to see what your crown looks like in heaven.

As a family friend I, Joseph Antony Dass met you in your house in Woodvale, Western Australia many years ago. You were a very kind and friendly man who was quick to help anyone in need. Your jokes were memorable and quick witted. I sincerely missed you when you went overseas. I also heard great things about you from my daughter’s father-in-law who you worked with for many years.
