Those we love don’t go away,
they walk beside us everyday,
unseen, unheard,
but always near,
still loved … still missed
and very near.
Sending you our love and condolences.
A very special man now free from all pain and walking with the Lord.
Marion, John, Mandy and Simon Sykes.
Jim … a privilege to meet such a wonderful friend, who is one of life’s gentlemen with always a smile or a cheeky remark to share.
Will always treasure the happy times You and Gwynne shared with me.
Remembered always

Dear Gwynne and family
– in memory of Jim –
a true gentleman, always with a cheeky grin, who loved a good laugh, music and most of all his family.
It was truly an honor to know him, and I remember many happy times shared with Lorna and myself.
We will all miss him so much.
Rest in peace Jim.

Jim was a true Christian who steadfastly lived his faith through kindness to others and shared his joy of music and his incredible talent, unselfishly.
It is a privilege to have known Jim.

Sending much love to all the family.
I have very fond memories of Jim, especially attending bible study sessions as an older teenager.
I remember his organ playing and love of music.
May you all be surrounded by love and beautiful memories.
Love Helen and Richard Young
I didn’t know you very well Jim, but I always admired your efforts to attend your granddaughters (April, Rosie and Sophie) special days at primary school.
They were always proud to show you their classrooms. 😊🌸.

Sending our love and condolences to Gwynne and the family, as we fondly remember Jim, and his God-given talents so faithfully shared on many occasions including on our wedding day in August 1966, when he sang and played the organ during the service.
God’s faithful servant now in His presence.
