Help Jimmy: Tragedy Heaped Upon Tragedy

[Angus]

Hey gang...

I try to refrain from charity on here but this was I could not ignore.

This goes out to the older members who remember James Wahry AKA jimmybob. Jimmy has not been to active in a while but he was a long time members, prolific reporter and moderator for a few years. He was always happy to try and help people out and was in fact the guy that got me onto my first fish caught on a hardbody!

Jimmy at our last Lake K catch up

Jimmy has had a run of tragedy in the last 2 weeks that defies explanation. First of all his long term GF Angela was taken from him by cancer. She had been battling this for a long time and Jimmy had supported her the whole way.

To top it off just last week his Ex Wife and still good friend Adelle was murdered. Adelle and Jimmy despite being divorced had remained good friends and excellent parents for the sake of the children. Adelle had even welcomed Angela warmly as the kids loved her as did Jimmy. http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/man-charged-with-murder-as-adelle-collins-found-stabbed-to-death-in-her-bribie-island-home/story-fnn8dlfs-1227212390382

In the wake of this Tragedy Jimmy has been left shaken. He has stated his primary goal is to establish a good life for his kids. With this in mind a trust has been established for them. This is the link:

No pressure on anyone I just wanted to share for the members that remember Jimmy and might want to help.

All I had to do was think about some of the first world problems that annoy me and realize how trivial they are in the face of this.

Cheers guys.
