In loving memory of James Anthony Dainty 'Jimmy' who sadly passed away suddenly at home on 15th July 2019.
Jimmy was born on 21st January 1954.
He was the first born son of John and Audrey.
Devoted husband of Helen.
Big brother of Julie, Paul and Neil.
Doting father of Westley, Janine, Katie, Richard, Rachel and Matthew.
Loving grandad of Joshua, Joseph, James, Eva, Evelyn, Taylor, Oliver, Lucia and Jaxon.
For nearly 30 years Jimmy had been running his own business supplying tools and equipment to the electrical manufacturing trade and was the sole agent for a German company.
He was regarded as one of the most exciting players ever to play for Dundalk Football Club. Having previously had spells with West Bromwich Albion and Walsall.
Jimmy had incredible taste in music, he would spend many hours listening to it. He was arguably the biggest David Bowie fan you ever met and also adored Elvis. He liked to let people know he had seen Elvis live, in a small bar in New York City.
His happy times were mainly on holiday in Greece, spending time with his grandchildren, playing football and laughing and joking with his family in the kitchen with a drink in his hand and the music turned up loud.
He will be greatly missed by his loving family and many friends.
Funeral service will be held at 1pm on Friday 16th August
