Rest well with Robena and Roslyn, much love to all that loved Jim

We are so sad to read this. Our much loved neighbour for over 25 years often popping over for a cup of tea and a chat, or to ask for help with computer and phone issues.
As our girls grew older they soon became your information source for your technical issues. They gave you some cheek over the years, the smirk on your face was priceless. Cheeky buggers you would say with a smile and a chuckle. Many fond memories over the years. Rest peacefully Jim.

A true gentleman in every sense of the word. Rest easy Jim. Sincere condolences to Jim’s family.

Another loss to the Traralgon & District Historical Knowledge Bank.

A true gentleman.
My condolences to his family.

As a past active member of the LROCG for many years we always enjoy getting out on the tracks with you and seeing what the Land Rover could do. Happy off roading Jim.

So many happy memories of great times at Gormandale, sending my condolences to your family
Shirley Mowat (née Lay)

Rest in peace Jim . A real gentleman Daryl & Trish Jeffries.

So sorry to hear about Jim.

Jim, we will miss your sense of humour and your laugh but our memories will always be with us. Florence,Warren , Michael and Susan.

Jim our family friend and neighbour became very close sharing activities and holidays following the passing of Robena and George. Once Jim required care in Margery Cole my regular visits and outings sustained our loving relationship. I will miss my Jim.

Thinking of the family and friends of Jim he was a true gentleman.

I still have treasured memories of riding my bike out from Traralgon to visit the Hoods at Nambrok; and in later years our visits to the Saturday night dances at Hill End. We had both been interested in Hood Family History in recent times, determining how we were related. Your passing brought back the thrill of the Mormon Trail and the tough early years around Creswick. You and the Hoods will never be forgotten by me.

Condolences to the family and friends of Jim. from the Traralgon & District Historical Society. Jim was a valued member for many years serving on the committee in executive roles for more than 18 years. His contribution to the continuation of the Society is immeasurable. His work will not be forgotten. Thank you, Jim , for a job well done. RIP.
Barbara Johnson, President.

Jim was a long term client, who became a friend.
Sadly Robena passed away the year we travelled to Canada. But with Roslyn’s blessing, he came alone, and did his best to enjoy it for the both of them. We became each other’s PLUS 1 at dinner most nights. We travelled to many wonderful destinations together over a 10 year period. He was a caring & considerate man who was never short of a story at the dinner table, on the cruises, and on the bus. Along the way he gained some nicknames including: Mr Jim (China), Jimbo (USA), Mr Hood (Europe), and James (Canada).
Jim has taken his final journey, to be with his beloved Robena & Roslyn.
Condolences to Tim & Nicole, and Frank, and all of Jim’s extended family and friends.
