"Hale, James William" Comments
My deepest condolences to Jean and family on the passing of James.
It was my pleasure to be apart of his care team at Prestige ln Home Care. I have many fond memories of James especially on a shower shift l was always reminded by James that my hands are cold and before we continue l had to warm them by the heater.
May he rest in peace.
Love ya dad
Thank you for such a beautiful and respectful service.
I have so many fond memories with Uncle Jim. Our shared family Christmas’, visits to the beaches and cafes in Geelong. The stories he would tell and a deep fondness of his cats.
Jim was so incredibly loved will be deeply missed.
Lovely service, my grandfather and I never got to spend as much time together as we would have liked but the time we did get will always be precious to me.
He taught me many things and even as time took him from us, stripping away the things we often attribute to who a person is he taught me to see what truly matters.
My sons and I will carry you on in our name, in our blood and in our hearts with love and pride.
I love you grandpa
My heartfelt sympathy to Jean & all of James family & friends….I was lucky enough to be on James Care team in Geelong…I use to look forward to my shift, the long conversations & laughs we shared & the many coffees that always made our day brighter…I feel very privileged to have known you & become your friend James…May God bless you all at this time of great sadness..
As part of the Prestige Inhome Care team in Geelong, I was one of the lucky carer’s to look after Jim and Jean over the years on and off. It was hard to say goodbye then, so I was saddened to hear of Jim’s passing, after such celebration for his 100th.My thoughts are with Jean and the family as you navigate life without him. Ham and pickle sandwiches cut in quarters, a ready smile and many layers of clothes. Just some of his traits. May he rest in peace, a life well lived.
