I wish I could have seen you more Uncle Jim. I will always treasure memories of being a very excited and proud young girl to be riding in the side car with you on your motorbike.

Love Karyn

A true gentleman and an inspirational brother and uncle. We remember his quick wit, his ready smile and mischievous personality, always ready to help at a moments notice. Too dearly loved to ever be forgetten. Rest In Peace Jim

Dear Jim

Thank you for letting your daughter Selena marry my brother Steve. Selena is a blessing to the Natoli family and it is a joy to share in the lives of Jayme & Ern, Joseph, Francis and Elise as they've grown. Our families have been together for all the big events and celebrations and there will be more to come. It won't be the same without you, but you will be remembered forever. After all these years Jim, I think you're actually Italian!

May the angels of The Lord return you safely to your heavenly home x

Riposare in Pace

I remember Jim from the HVMCC days ( Hutt Valley Motor Cycle Club) Jim had time for everyone regardless of how trivial your questions seemed. His knowledge was vast & he commanded respect from all those around him. My memory of him remains that of a kindly generous person with a quick wit and a boundless knowledge of all things mechanical especially if it had two wheels. Rest In Peace Jim. You are in Gods gentle hands

My deepest condelences to Glenis and Family at this sad time. Fly high Jim (Boss) xoxo

Dear Uncle Jim, what I will always remember is your cheeky smile and sparkling eyes. You were always on the go, always had a project in the works, a deal being made. I always enjoyed our family trips to Welly to see you and Aunty Glenis and the cuzzies. And I am so thankful you and Aunty Glenis opened your home to me when I moved to Welly myself. Much love to Aunty Glenis, Janine, Suzanne, Selena, Stewart, and the extended family. I’m devastated I can’t be there to celebrate Uncle Jim’s life. Love from Jen

My old friend at rest.

Dear uncle Jim. Its so sad that your not here in oerson with us but know that you will be sorely missed. Thank you for being so amazing and for always taking an interest in our lives. You were always so encouraging and your words of wisdom usually came with a touch of cheekiness just to make us see the bright side to things. I have so many memories of you. Probably because i was forever taking photos ever opportunity i got. One of the cutest memories i have is when you and aunty Glenis came up for Judy and lindsey's anniversay and i took this photo of you and your brothers! You were always happy to have photos taken of you. I am blessed to have known you during my time with the family. Lots of love. May you rest in peace.
