On September 6
time did stop
Someone needed our Dad and Pop.
We wanted you to hang on
what could we say
You were so brave Dad
as you slipped away.
We remember all the years
laughter and tears
The dogs,the kids,the trucks,
the fruit trips-and how you
couldn't tolerate flips!
The travels,the stories that came from your lips..
You loved going near and far
as much as you adored
Frank Sinatra.
Bigger than Texas was your personality
the tap dancing,the loudness,the laugh-
you never did anything by half.
Dad-we know you are on the eternal
fruit run
But our world is now dark-
where is the sun?
We know you're not that very far
We will always love and miss you Dad,
but we've lost a star.
I hope you and Mum find
each other again
Please work it out for the family
and me
May you both dance your way
through eternity.
I love you Dad you were so brave and I am so proud of you xxxlinxxx
I remember when I was little and pop was staying at our house i was laying in bed when i heard a noise that sounded like someone drinking the last drop of
a milk shake. I thought Alaura had a milk shake and i was missing out. so i asked mum what it was. turns out it was poppy snoring!!!!! needless to say i didnt get a shake!!! LOLOLOLOL!!
I remember Dad heating up frozen apple pies in the oven complete with the plastic packaging tray..what a mess..sometimes he just acted helpless so you would do it for him!
Dad was fascinated with the internet,he was always bugging me to show him how to use the computer,he would always give up after 10 minutes saying his eyes were too sore,once,he got me to register him on msn's dating site,I guess he wanted some female company!Then he decided he could do it himself so I let him fill in the form and he did it,after a couple of days he asked if I could get the site up to see if he had had any bites,lol,so I did,I left him to it,seeing as he was all computer literate now,next thing he's yelling for me, I'm thinking what the hell has he done to my computer?I go into the computer room and I said "what's wrong?any bites yet?"He said "yeah plenty of them,and they are all from gay men!!!!!" lmao!!!!!He had clicked male looking for male on that form hadn't he...lololol!!!That was the end of internet dating!!!
I taught him how to use Ebay and he was happy with that!
It is with deep regret that Aunty Fay and Ron are
unable to be present today.She has so many stories
treasured in her memory bank of Jim,maybe its a good
thing she isnt here as time would not permit.Aunty
Fays memories go back over 60years when her and Mum
were little girls and Aunty Trish wasnt thought of.THE
TWINS started entertaining them and family then and
never stopped.She is happy to say Jim did it his
way,like Sinatra sang about.Jim always had a song in
his heart,along with love and compassion.Aunty Fay
reckons he would have tap danced through those Pearly
Gates singing away,making a grand entrance and wishing
he had a bonzer load of fruit from that Gale Orchid.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.
Forever in all our hearts he will remain

Rest in Peace our darling Numero Uno Jimmy.
