Dear Maureen & Family,
Somehow or other Jimmy’s service details ended up in my Junk Email box and after I rang you in early January I thought you had perhaps decided for a quiet family occasion.
Anyway, I was in Hereford this morning and meeting up with a few of the guys and grilled to where I was. You can imagine how upset I was to have missed Jimmy’s service, but honestly not my fault.
Suffice to say he was typical of his era, quiet and unassuming soldier, and a very good karate student of mine when he was one of the DS on Training Wing.
I loved his dry sense of humour and he was highly respected amongst his colleagues. I hope that you family are coming to terms with the inevitable for us all. However , Jimmy will always leave a lasting print in my mind as a great soldier and human being.
RIP Jimmy
