    So sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. It’s been over 20 years since we left the Ilderton area but we still have many fond memories of all the Kennedy clan and their penchant for a practical joke. Jim was no exception. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    We are remembering a guy who was larger than life when we were growing up. He always had a big wave when we saw him in Ilderton – and he usually had a funny story to tell us too. He helped Dad a few times at the fairs and made us all laugh. Jim had a motorcycle that he loved to drive. What a great guy he was.
