Jimmy Morris

It is with much regret that we must advise you of the passing of Jimmy Morris.

Jimmy passed away peacefully at 4:15am this morning, the 21st of July, at the age of 80, surrounded by those close to him.

 

The family have requested that no flowers are sent and instead donations are made to the 2 local charities that were dear to Jimmy. Full details of these charities and the addresses where donations can be sent will be posted as soon the information becomes available.

 

Jimmy was a stalwart of shows and the information and knowledge he had was invaluable, he happily travelled all over the country to be at the shows and the many who knew him only hope, they have the stamina, energy and will that Jimmy had when they get to his age.

From all of us at the BKKS, we pass on our sincerest condolences to his family and wish them well during this very difficult time.

 

Update: 25/07/11 - We have been asked to place the following comment in respect of all those that have offered comments and support at this difficult time:

“Thank you to everyone for their kindness and support over the last few weeks.
All the cards and messages, were such a comfort during Dad's final days.

I didn’t realise how popular my dad was, once again, thank you!
