This site is dedicated to the memory of Jimmy McGillicuddy.

Our wonderful Jimmy sadly passed away on 21.02.2010. He faced each new challenge that life threw at him with great courage and a cheeky smile. Four years on and he is still an inspiration to those who were privileged to know and love him. Many thanks for the support xxx

Hey Jimmy, its that annoying little ginger friend of Lozza's here! Just thought I'd drop by to say that I am immensely proud of Loz and how strong she's staying, and reckon you'd be proud too. We had a great day at the McGilly Cup, altho me and Loz can't take much credit for how good it was (we just loitered by the side eating all of the delicious food your wife had prepared!). Your mates went to such efforts as well, I guess its a reflection of how much they miss you too. Just wanted you to know that I still have a little giggle at some of the memories I have of being at Stringer... Like when I'd ring Loz but end up having a 20 min conversation with you (with Loz squealing in the background trying to get the phone off you and stop embarrassing her!)... Or the fashion parades?! Haha. Wherever you are now Jimmy, I hope its beautiful and peaceful, and that you're still able to share the good and bad times with all these people that obviously love you immensely. I see you in Loz all the time which makes me think that you are :) Love always Jess xxx

Hi Karen, First of all, I would like to say how deeply sorry I am to hear of your darling Jimmy and how touched I was to read your message. It is still such a short time for you and you do have a long road ahead but you will get there with Jimmy’s guidance, and support through family & friends. I truly believe Paul and Jimmy are watching over us - that still keeps me going. It is coming up 13 years in July and still as painful at times, but even through the tears I am smiling as can see Paul’s beautiful smile always and your Jimmy (from what I have read) sounds very similar!! You must talk and not bottle things up and try not to push people away, I did, and look back now with regret as they were only trying to help – and realise a lot of other people were grieving too – I was very selfish and still am with my grief - takes a lot of patience. It took me 4 years to rebuild my life and I am now with Alistair, my partner. I will never marry as will always be Paul’s wife and even though I met Alistair it is “different” – Paul is still my husband, my soul mate, my everything, but I have found comfort too which has helped me. You too, in time, will look towards a future which is not without Jimmy, he will always be a part of you, no-one but no-one can ever take him away from you, he’s with you all the time, in your heart, and you won’t ever lose that feeling as days, years drift by. I am giving you my email address and hope you write soon – lthompson@harbinson-mulholland.com Please take comfort in those around you at this very, very sad & difficult time. Thinking of you.

Jim your funeral was so hard but also so amazing, so many people just kept showing up! I knew you were popular but come'on :-) hehe Your boys and your wifey did you sooooooo proud. Made people laugh and cry, but most importantly showed everybody there (and all those who will no doubt hear about it) how 'legendary' you truely were. Also the legacy of amazing friends and loved ones (yeh me included!) you leave behind to tell all your tales!! including sausage in a box lol! Miss you always, promise to annoy mum and dad (and Karen!) on your behalf. p.s. the partay was a good'un and fun & injury filled by all accounts. love's ya. Loz xxx p.p.s the fraples got a laugh! whoop. not that i believed it..!
