Much love to you all on the recent loss of your much beloved husband, father and grandfather.
I have such happy childhood memories of Jimmy taking us passed the breakers at Mt Maunganui and feeling so brave and adventurous. We all have wonderful memories of Jimmy and his kindness and humour.
It was also so good to catch up with you both on your visit to Adelaide .
Much love to you all, Shona Dove

Thinking of you all in the loss of Jimmy. I have great memories of staying with you both as a child always happy and fun visits. I still have the set of fingerprints Jimmy took when I was 5! Such a lovely man, I hope the great memories you have will bring you comfort. He is fondly remembered by all of the Barnes/Dove families

So sad to hear of Jimmy's passing, Jan. I have such lovely memories of staying with you both in Wellington as a young teenager. The very cute Irishman with the adorable accent. He was always kind, generous and made us laugh. I know he will be so sadly missed by you Jan and all your family. Thinking of you all.
Love Gillian Dove
