Some of my dads dear friends in England – celebrated in unison with us at one of his much-loved pubs, The Upton Inn, last weekend for his ‘farewell party’. (All funerals should be rebranded as farewell parties, slash the sadness and cheers with the heaven raised rim of a glass.) Happy memories from the past to the present and beyond. Jim moved to Trinidad in the early 1970’s and this is yet just another testament to how very loved he is; to maintain such amazing friendships that transcend time and geography. Thanks for sending these over, so much love all around.
Hi Tracy,As you can see i have attached several photos of our gathering to celebrate the life and friendship of Jim Craig. All the people in these pictures enjoyed a long and happy friendship with your dad Jim here in the UK. We are only a small portion of people that he met along his extraordinary life. We all met at The Upton Inn-as this was a favorite haunt of Jim’s when we were all younger- and it coincided with your own celebration in Trinidad.I worked at Fry’s chocolate factory with him as an engineering apprentices of which there are many happy memories. We all loved being with Jim,as life was always an adventure especially when on our holidays. If you wish to add any of the photos to your internet blog please feel free as we are all in agreeance.I hope that Jim’s unique email address is still in use-perhaps to communicate with Kareen in the future. Over the years i have sent many older photos to your dad which he may have saved-let me know-as i can repeat and add to these if you like. THANK YOU for your internet blog which has kept us all informed throughout. Please share this email with Kareen and Trudy as we all wished to be remembered to them. We send our love to you all.Here’s to the next meetingDonald & Judith xand the rest of the gang.
This says so much….his ‘touch’ was far and wide and one we will always remember… such a very ‘special and unique’ person….gone but will always be remembered…..
