  2. We honour Jim’s generosity to his many friends and colleagues, his service in the navy and his contribution to Australia's military aviation industry. Jim valued family and tradition, was a true gentlemen who always had an engaging smile and sense of humour. Jim was a master at growing lemons, lots of lemons and making pickling onions which he shared generously with his colleagues, especially at the monthly Sunday RSL lunches where he will be sadly missed. Sincere condolences to Jim's family. Noel and Gurli Miller

  3. To Diane and Graham
    My Sincere condolences to you from the Enthronement Team of Royal Ark Mariners
    It was always a great pleasure to go to Bellarine RAM and Jim's smiling face was a feature
    It was always a shot about Naval service him being Real Navy (RN) and myself Real Armature Navy (RAN) he being a "Birdie" and me General service but we were at least agreeable we were in the elite branch of a "Greenie"
    He will be sadly missed . . . . BZ
