Dear Marlene, Judy and Peter, it is with heartfelt sympathy that I express in the loss of Uncle Jim. How I remember as family the times we shared when living just down the road. He was only one of a few that got away with calling me Maggie!!. May the sadness you feel in your heart today, begin to ease with each happy memory that you reflect on. Treasure each of them. Love to you all. xxxx

I would just like to pass on condolences from Barry and Helen Simkin. Dad went to school with Jim in Wakefield many yrs ago and was sad to read of his passing over the weekend. Mum said it hit him quite hard! I guess when you've known someone for 70years it is hard. At least Jim is resting peacefully now.

Jim & Barbara were good to me when I came to stay with my Nanna next door in the sixties. I have happy memories of the Bonnington family and Marlene, Judy and Peter.
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your Dad.
