We are remembering a guy who was larger than life when we were growing up. He always had a big wave when we saw him in Ilderton – and he usually had a funny story to tell us too. He helped Dad a few times at the fairs and made us all laugh. Jim had a motorcycle that he loved to drive. What a great guy he was.
Helen Ryan (Brumwell)
Whenever I met Jim, he was able to provide me with a smile and usually a chuckle. I have fond memories of the Kennedy family.
Please accept my sympathy.
