Brian JAMES Obituary

Dear Rob and Family
David and I are sorry to hear about the sad loss of your father, grandfather and great grandfather. By all accounts a stalwart of the Manawatu community.
96 is such a great age and I believe he was still making quince jam until very recently.
May he rest in peace.

My last link to Halcombe,,,my Grandmother was send out on a boat from Denmark, by herself ,, to help care for a new baby that was arriving...what an adventure that must have been been,,,probably no English either...Caryll´s mother become her very best friend,,, rest in Peace Brian

We are sorry to hear of your sad loss of your father, grandfather and great grandfather, Brian. Andy has many happy memories go carting and mucking around in the big shed at Mt Biggs. A very clever, inspirational man who lived a good life.

Truly sorry for your loss. Brian and Anne were the best neighbours ever - Brian was a fountain of knowledge- never forget him carrying our old dog (large Rottweiler) down the hill from his place to home because he´d gone for a wander and was to far for him to walk back at his age.

I have some great memories of spending time with Brian in his workshop when I lived at Mt Biggs. He had a great amount of knowledge and wonderful recall. I am sorry for your loss.
Sincerely John Darragh

My condolences to Robert and family at the sad time. Pat and Mike Wyatt
