Where do I start Pops? I want to say thank you for accepting me into your family all those years ago and for being the best Pops anybody could ever ask for! I'll forever cherish the dancing, singing, drinking brandy, playing cards, sitting at the view point watching the Holland boat coming in and countless other memories I made with you. Thank you for being the best Poppy to Harmony, Jensen, Sofia and Zeke. We all miss you and love you so very much. We look for yours and Nanny's star every night. Much love Pops, keep dancing up there and I'll toast a brandy to you.

When I read the many wonderful comments about my father - James Hobson, I had to smile. However, all that I can say is that " I hope that the one who holds my hand, was holding his hand".
Father, may your soul rest in eternal peace!

Well James what can I say? You were an absolute legend on our ward and you made my days at work much brighter, it was an absolute honour to treat you and play you some reggae which you loved. You will be missed greatly by anyone who ever knew you. Fly high my man sorry we couldn’t fix you.

What can we say about this wonderful Man actually about this wonderful Couple .
We will miss Jimmy (James Ezekiel) so so much .
A man of integrity.of love for life and his family .
We have had the privilege of knowing both Jimmy and Maureen for more than 50 years
So many adventures with them. Jimmy was a loyal and passionate friend. And his love for life and laughter was infectious. When Jimmy was there you just had to smile because he lit up the party.
God bless you my dear friend, it's time to walk the streets of Glory holding your dearest Maureens Hand.
You made us laugh.
You made us weep.
Sadly it time to go to Sleep.
For those that remain. You will always be.
In our hearts eternally.
🙏🕊️🌹
Laurie & Ruth.
