Thanks Green Demon, just Beautiful.

I spread my Mothers, & later, Fathers ashes in the Botanical Gardens.

I hope everyone is coping well, & wish all the Stynes clan the Best of Health

Thanks Green Demon, the part about the ashes being blown over the gathered family members made me laugh...

Thanks GD. Ironic for me, having finished Jim's book tonight. I also thought Sam's interview on RTE might be worth listen so here's the link for anyone who's interested. Starts a few minutes in http://www.rte.ie/ra...502:11-09-2012:

Reminds me of The Big Lebowski.

If something like that was going to happen to anyone you know, it had to be to our man "Big Jim"

Just Love it.

I love the fact that despite all the problems they encountered during the service it was the humour that they all saw. Thanks GD a lovely piece

Reminds me of The Big Lebowski.

The Dude abides.

[Chook 15,022]

The Dude abides.

I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

I chuckled. Good stuff.

[Sir Why You Little 37,239]

I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that.

C'mon Walter....

Says it all really. A hero to many of us, but to Jimmy, just an ordinary bloke. Dunno why I wrote that, but I know exactly what I mean.

Prior to immigrating to Australai with my family and in the early to mid 90's as an adult I lived on the foot of the Dublin/Wicklow mountains in Tallaght, which is west of Rathfarnam where the great man hails from. I used to spend a lot of time running in the mountains and Sally Gap is a beautiful place and I can understand why Jimmy wished for his ashes to be scattered there.

I am heading back next year for a wedding and shall take my kids to Sally Gap to pay my respects to the great man.

R.I.P Jim we (the Dees) will make you proud one day

I work with 5 Irish lads on 457 visas. I've bribed them into supporting the Dee's by buying each of them a MFC gurnsey and telling them about Jimmy. I emailed the club and they've agreed to put Jim's #11 on the back of each of them free of charge.

God knows WA doesnt need any more Eagles or Dockers supporters!

I don't mind Dockers supporters, but the other mob, I am an Irish Catholic who follows Celtic and I can honestly say I hate Meth Coast more than I hate Rangers.

Just finished the book and now understand the significance of this article.

Thanks so much for posting.

I reflect that I knew Jim was suffering but like so many assumed he would be ok and let him continue his involvement at the club. To be fair Garry Lyon was right....he should have stepped in earlier for Jim.

What an outstanding person Jim was and so honest with himself. Hard to believe Tom had the audacity to lie when he could have just been upfront. Says a lot about Tom as a person actually, he has a long journey ahead of him.

Rest in peace now big Jimma.
