I wonder just how many people Dr Fowler was an inspiration and friend too. Many more than most of us will ever aspire to I'm sure.<br />I'm so sorry for all of you that were close to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19205604.post-64677880684160855202011-05-16T20:10:27.145+01:002011-05-16T20:10:27.145+01:00Jenny, I'm so sorry.

I can just see him dropping the rings and tripping over things. <br />He started ringing when he was about 10, catching birds in our back garden and putting little plastic rings on them.<br /><br />Jim is my big brother. I don't think I have ever felt so bereft.lorenzothellamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248039576046971460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19205604.post-20678257032676761692011-05-16T18:19:16.717+01:002011-05-16T18:19:16.717+01:00This man obviously left a gigantic crater by his p...This man obviously left a gigantic crater by his passing.

Thank you so much for reading and leaving a message Jemima: I'm sure that all of us who knew Jim must have a dreadful hollow inside us, but I feel especially for all of his family. What an awful and untimely loss.

Jimmy was my uncle (or nuncle as he might say). Even though I've got lots of happy memories of him I feel absolutely robbed of all the ones I thought I still had coming. I can hear his voice in my head still, I hope it never goes. I can't believe he's gone. I feel such a gap. It was good to read about him though. Thanks.
