On the 1st October 2018 we lost our lovely Jim. He was a soul mate and husband to Sue for 14 years, also a wonderful Stepfather to Chris, Jason and Chloe and Granddad to 7 beautiful children. Words cannot describe the pain and loss our family are going through, but we are extremely thankful for all the love and support that all of our friends and family have shown. We could not have got through the recent days without you. Thank you all for the kind messages, cards and beautiful bunches of flowers that have brightened the house at this very sad time. We have asked for family flowers only at the funeral as we would like to have a bench made as a memorial for Jim. We do not know how much we need to raise to fund the bench but it will be hand made, shipped over to the Island and placed on the field which Jim cherished. Any remaining money will be donated to Wessex Cancer Trust, a charity close to Jim's heart following his battle with Cancer in 2009.

Donations towards the bench will be gratefully received via this funding page. Once the bench is made it will be unveiled in the Spring of 2019.
