I had worked with Jim on a number of campaigns and found him to be a Welsh gent with nerves of steel. It is really difficult to say everything I want to except I will miss Jim and Reading politics will be the poorer for him not being about. My first memory of him, was of him telling me how to act as a good Reading politician and then watching him act out his advice in the Council chamber and committee room.
I would like to express my condolences to Trish, his partner, and his wider family.
