Platinum Member jeepjimboy Posted November 27, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted November 27, 2022 I do not check in very often these days, so learning about Jim O's sad passing today came as quite a shock. As one of the early members of this great forum, i was so pleased to have met and known Jim right from the start. He was my goto JK expert and had many useful chats with extremely useful advice from him. RIP Jim. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammedeluxe Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I have managed to sort childcare and will be able to attend in my Jeep, please add me to the list. Jim’s friendly welcome and all encompassing inclusion to everyone is my over riding memory of my first JOC event and exposure to true Jeeping. An incredible person. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member doodle Posted November 28, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted November 28, 2022 So, I may have missed this but is everyone meeting at a place near by or all just going to the church? If I read it correctly the church attendance is family? and then the procession from the church out to burial for Jeeps etc? Are people meeting at a services etc on way up/Down and then al l going in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisby Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Dear all, funeral home have requested that everyone who is coming to bid farewell to Jim arrived by 11:05am at St Marie's Church. Please see below map. Oak Street is a private road owned by the church. I am hoping the jeep Procession will be able to fit and line up down there. If not there is residential parking on the slip road off Churchill road. I would kindly request all attendees place a sign in the windscreen saying 'Funeral St Marie's - 11:30am. On a separate note Jim will be open casket and there will be the opportunity for people to pay their respects if they wish before the service commences. Many thanks, Louise 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member Volant165 Posted December 1, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted December 1, 2022 Dear all, From the bottom of my heart thank you so much to all who helped give Jim a send off he would have truly loved. The Jeep procession absolutely took our breathe away! It was such a fitting final journey for a man who was so passionate about Jeep & the wonderful jeep community. The girls, family and I have taken great comfort from all your kind, supportive & very thoughtful condolence messages. Thank you! The jeep community never ceases to amaze me and we very much love you all! I look forward to seeing you all soon. Mrs O (Lou) & family x Ps if anyone has any footage or photos of the jeep procession & line up I would absolutely love to see it so please reach out.

Platinum Member Black_box_jeep Posted December 1, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted December 1, 2022 It was an honour to be part of a sad but amazing tribute to Jim. We didn’t know Jim for a long time but that didn’t seem to matter as was always nice to chat as though we had. He also brought a lot of good people together and we’ve made some great friends as a result, and are thankful for that. Again, if we can do anything, let us know. Thoughts are with you and all Jims family and friends. Ian and Sophie 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
