James MACKEN Obituary

You will be missed uncle Jim, your legacy will live on in our memories forever.. many fond childhood memories for me - rest in peace..

Rest In Peace my old friend, I couldn't be at your service but You will always be in my thoughts. I will always have memories that will bring a smile to my face. I'm so glad we spent some time together before you went.

Half a world away, but there in spirit!! Such a strong but compassionate man and so loved his laugh. RIP Uncle Jim. Love and thoughts to Aunt Ada, Yola, Melody, Liz, Carl and families on this saddest of days.

Uncle Jimmy the fighting Irish won't be the same. You were hugely influential in our family coming from Ireland to NZ. Quite a story "the two first cousins" called Jimmy Macken discovering each other! Thank you for what you did for us. "Irish Jimmy's family"

Remembering Jimmy as a Plumber at Cooke Plumbing & went on to be a Union Rep. Always had an alternate view! A genuine nice guy & true to his word. Condolences to his family.

RIP Uncle Jim! We will always remember you for your wonderful sense of humour and your rip roaring laugh!

Our love, prayers and sympathy are with Yola, Melody, Elizabeth and Carl and most of all to our beautiful, fun loving and wonderful Aunty Ada at this sad time.
