Read them all, for they are very important!
I'm gutted, as we were regular buddies, and chatted most weeks on the phone and met up whenever we could. Working on those two books with him was a real treat, and one of the real highlights of my underground work so far. It's really sad, not least as I had something exciting lined up to show him next week. Oh well.
But Jim was a fine character, and a good man and a great husband to Ann, and his mining history legacy is enormous and valuable. Some sort of commemoration will happen, for sure.
Photos below of him in his regular role as Foreman of the Grand Jury of the Barmote Court and also with his old mate Peter Harrison, Blue John miner, in Treak Cliff Cavern.
