Hey, this is Jim’s youngest brother. I never saw him that often for the last few years as I’ve worked at sea and before that lived and worked in the north of England while he was in the south. He died on April the 11th 2007 at about 6:30pm GMT and I was there. He was on a lot of painkillers but I think he was aware his family were around him and he seemed to take it very casually and never showed any fear and I’ve never seen anyone take something on the chin that big and so easily and never will do again in this life. Someone says somewhere it was the end of March but it was April 11th. Just found his name on google so had to say something. What killed him was Chrohn’s disease which doesn’t kill that many people but he had it in the extreme to the point where his intestines were basically useless so was fed through a tube in the heart for about 8 months and I have to say he took it better than I would ever have. Thanks for posting comments about him. Keep doing it.
