Dear Catherine, Rebekah, Mark, Elizabeth, Hannah, Daryl and Sophie I am so sorry for your loss of dear J`ames. He was such a lovely person to know, very sincere and kind. He will be so sadly missed but I know you will find comfort in knowing that he is with Jesus. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

James and I have known each other for many years. We were in College together from 1955-1957. Subsequently he was ordained and became a faithful Priest in Leicester. He was one of the most humble of men, self-effacing with a gentle sense of humour coupled to a knowing twinkle in his eye. James was universally loved, mainly because of his deep sincerity as a human being and an approachable person as a man of God. James was the epitome of kindness, love, consistency, loyalty and a wonderful family man. I think of him with deep affection. To all his family I know you will miss him but you will also be proud that he was a true and faithful servant to all. Terence.

Our deepest condolences for the family, we were so sorry to hear of our Uncle Jim’s passing. He was a wonderful polite humourous and gentle man; we enjoyed many years of his fantastic hospitality, warmth and not to forget his amazing mint sauce with roast lamb. Lovely fond memories of afternoons together - we will miss him greatly

Dear Rebekah, I was so sad to learn your Dad had passed away. He was a lovely, gentle, kind man, and I know you'll miss him enormously. But praise the Lord, he's in the best place, and we'll see him again one day. The Lord bless you and your family, and may you know His strength and peace. Praying for you xx
