  13. Helen, I am so sorry to hear the sad news about Jimmy, a brother in bikes and boards.

  14. Was so saddened to learn of the news of Jimmy’s passing on Sunday. A great friend down the years through the printing business side and socially. When we were stuck for a ream of something, Jimmy obliged . . . a part of the GTO broke down, Jimmy said “you can have mine” . . . that was Jimmy, always obliging and willing to help. And if Jimmy was in a bind we would do what we could to help and had a laugh along the way. We had a great business relationship for as long as I can remember. He will be sadly missed for the oul chats in “Shoots” and even the banter on Facebook. Helen, Mark and Paul, our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Gone too soon.
