Abstract: Jim Smith passed away just prior to Christmas 2009, having fought a battle with cancer over the previous 13 months. Jim’s funeral was well attended by a wide range of people that reflected his interests and contribution to life. That such a large number attended his funeral between Christmas and New Year, with many travelling some distance from their holidays, showed the respect with which Jim was held.
