CARLSEN: James (Gentleman Jim)

Passing: 10th July 2024
Funeral:
Published: 12th July 2024

Dempsey & Forrest

21 Oct 1947 – 10 Jul 2024

X17984

Served in the RNZN 1964-1974 and 1976-1984

Stop his pay, stop his leave, stop his tot.

Gone to both watches in the sky.

It was a pleasure knowing you all – Jim

After a short illness, our beloved Jimmy has passed.

He was loved by more people than he realised, with many getting in touch to say hooray before he left.

James was kind, patient, with a great sense of humour and loved a good story.

He will be dearly missed by his wife Colleen, daughters Georgie and Charlie, his many grandchildren (and their mates), and the rest of his extended family.

We have so much gratitude to those who helped make Dad’s last days easier, especially his sister Geraldine. He didn’t want any fuss so there won’t be a funeral but feel free to donate to Hospice who were a great support.

The world is a bit less bright without him (though now we can talk during the 6pm news without being growled at).
