My sympathies to the Lavin Family on Jimmy’s death.
Every morning without fail, Jimmy was in for his daily newspaper. The Sun provided him with plenty to think about for the races in the UK which he loved. Our conversation the following morning would get little knowledge of whither he won or lost on the previous day,s race.
I really enjoyed his enthusiasm for life. It was an absolute pleasure to know him and have him as a customer. We will miss you Jimmy.
