James Patton

What an honour to know you Jim wow that giggle and yes wind up ! Cant thank you enough the way you and Joanie welcomed and treated our Dave as one of your own I know he felt loved by you and your beautiful family. How you welcomed us all and stood by us all when things got tough. You will be greatly missed Jim as you are a great man loved by so many. If you bump into Dave say hi Im sure you will and you will both be giggling and having a pint or a capo fly high Jim xxxxx ️

Uncle Jim and my Godfather, devoted to his family, always smiling and passionate about his racing, you will be truly missed. Rest in peace xx

You were an exceptionally sweet lovely man with a smile that lit your face, you will be missed but with memories that will bring a smile, rest in peace gentleman Jim xx

We only had the pleasure of meeting you once but you clicked with my (then) 6 yo son and so much time for his millions of questions and seemed to enjoy answering each and every one of them before sending him on his way with a little something to buy ice cream, not only that but you raised a tremendous daughter in my friend Mac, which is a testament to your parenting and I cant begin to tell you how much it was clear that she adored you and every fibre of your being! So I promise you I will look after your daughter while she mourns you loss and support her as she and your family learn to live with the void you have clearly left RIP x x

Jim will be missed by so many, a lovely gent and a wonderful brother in law xx

Jumbo was a mighty mighty man, I enjoyed every minute I spent with him at many racing circuits and enjoyed many a pint with him. He was Dereks main sponsor and helping Derek win the British 250cc championship, I also rode under his name for many races and at the Indian Grand Prix, along with Derek. We have all lost such a wonderful dad and friend I will sorely miss Jumbo.

What a wonderful brother in law Jim was you will be missed by all. Always had a smile on your face. God bless you may you rest in peace until we meet again x

Fond happy memories of over 20yrs of you popping next door Jim to fix things... always smiling and laughing whenever i saw you ... may you rest in peace with the loving thoughts and memories of your loving family xxxx
