Jim Arty was the gentle giant with a big heart. Knowing how difficult it was to get him to have a photo taken I was honoured to get him to smile in my favourite picture. You made us part of your wonderful family which was a great privilege. We enjoyed making all those wonderful memories with you and Ruth and you will always remain in our hearts xx 💕
We are so saddened by Jim's passing. You couldn't find a more respectable, kind and caring man than Jim. During the summer you could always find Jim in the Pelican Point pool doing his laps. Jim left a legacy so uplifting it will be very difficult to duplicate. Thank you, Jim, for all your kindness. Rest assured you will ALWAYS be remembered when we raise a glass of finely crafted wine or enjoy a spectacular home cooked meal.
Many heavenly prayers go out to you and your beautiful family.
Respectfully,
Lisa and Sabatino
