- EULOGY FOR JIM FROM HIS CHILDREN:
We are very proud and honoured to have an amazing father like you Dad. You have always lived your life to the full and you have always has this energy and thirst for enjoying life. You have always been there for each and everyone of us in eveything we do.
Dad made our world a brighter place. He did this by always putting his family first, his generosity to friends and with anyone with whom he came into contact. He became a father figure to many of our friends and treated them as though they wee his own children.
We have never known a dull moment with you Dad. Who could forget our annual trips to Dargle, the place that never rains! The biggest bonfire, the best baked dinner and the most well equipped marquee (3 days to set up for a 4 day weekend.). Ad who could ever forget you water skiing in your stubbies and holding the back of your pants with one hand as you're pulled out of the water, so as not to lose your duds or dignity in front of the neighbouring sites!
The Easter Bunny never failed to make an appearance at Dargle. The grandkids would race eagerly to the Ute every year looking for their lifesized Cadbury's Easter Bunnies. Should anyone turn up unepectedly the Easter Bunny would never failo provide.
One of the most important highlights of our year is the annual Port Macquarie sumer holiday. All the family plus in laws, outlaws, Pommies and Slovakians are welcome. If they were lucky he put flags out!! No-one in the campsite was in any dobt that the Griffiths's had arrived in town! Not that the preparation was without stress. Every year Dad would insist that they were hooked up and pulling out by 5am to head up the highway! Every year at 6.30am Dad would still be insisting that it really was time to go while Mum raced around filling the caravan to capacity!
Christmas was the most important time in Dad's life. He was Mr Christmas. Before one Christmas was ended the next was being prepared for. From singing Santas, inflatable workshops and at least a forest of Christmas trees. Mum was never wasuite sure what would fall out of the next cupboard she opened. Or for that matter, the caravan, Grandma's garage, the workshop or under the house. It was amazing how many quotes Dad had to do for the Christmas warehouse in December.
Dad loved life, he loved his wife, he loved his family, he loved his lawn mower, he loved his cars, and he loved his Jim Beam Ute. He will always be remembered in our hearts as a beautiful man who was our Champion to the end.
We will miss you and love you always.
