Born in the Wirrel in 1943
Managed various bussines's including Cinemas, MSAs, Tushinski BV, United Biscuits Restaurants, Odeon Cinemas, Butlins, Oasis, Apollo Cinemas & Bingo.
Met my darling Jen in 1964
Married her in 1967
Had a wonderful 48 years with her
Lost her in 2012
Loved her more than anything
Miss her more than anything
She lives on in my heart and my head.
This is my own time line - Jen krew every date of our life together - so I never worried, I just asked her. Now she has gone I have built a Reminder Calender to use as I need it, because I can never ask her a question about dates again.
Jims life time reminder Calender [My darling always knew the dates so I did not have to remember and now I do - hence this]
