Was so sad to hear this, I first met Jim in 1983 when I worked in the Red Lion behind the bar. He was a lovely guy Always smiling & even years after I had left bar work He would always smile & stop for a chat & a giggle. Great hairdresser too. Sleep well lovely man

I am extremely sad to hear of the death of Jim, whom I came to know through BATS during many years of our performances at The Haymarket Theatre, when I was a member of the company back in the 1980’s / 1990’s. He was a talented performer and at the centre of the heart of the company. I remember him arranging numerous wonderful social gatherings at his home for the members and their families of BATS. He was a lovely kind man, full of generosity and concern for others and with a great sense of humour and fun. I am so sorry that he is no longer with us.
