Re: Gentleman Jim
R.I.P Jimmy, thoughts are with his family and to all those individual's who battle with cancer, whether individually or a family member or friend.
You will be missed Jim, but the world shines a bit more brightly because of you.

RIP Jim. Much sympathy to his wife and two young children.
Was listening to a tribute on the radio this morning where he said that the hardest thing was the thought of leaving his kids. I hope they get through this OK - if they grow up to be half the people their old man was the world will be richer for it.

RIP Jim Stynes
My condolences to your family.
You were a truly warm and caring human being instead of one of the current generation of people who are more interested in what they can get for themselves. You gave fully of yourself even when you were dying.
The world is a much smaller place now with your passing.

Gone at 45. So young. Has achieved so much you'd think he was much older. When it can be taken away so easily, it makes you evaluate your own life.
RIP Jim Stynes, and condolences to his family and close friends.

Another Jim once said "cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my heart. It cannot touch my mind and it cannot touch my soul. And those are three things which will live forever."
RIP Jim.
RIP Jim.
Sad, sad news.
An inspiration to the end.
Sincerest condolences to the Stynes family.

RIP Jimmy Stynes, a massive loss to the Melbourne Football Club and Aussie Rules, a legend, a hero and a true inspiration.
RIP Jimmy and sincerest condolences to his family.
It is amazing how much he was able to accomplish in such a short time.
His memory will live forever.

Jim Stynes has been the epitome of courage and selflessness not just in his playing days, but even more so in the recent on-going battle that could not be won, which would have been lost much earlier by the average man.
A man to be respected and admired.
The struggle is now over.
R.I.P. Jim.

Really hope Melbourne win well in Round 1.

Every heart beats true for the Red and the Blue.
We sing this song to you.

Not much more i can add.
Obviously a man who packed a few lifetimes into his 45 years.
Its a little bit spooky that both he and Sean Wright ( the two success stories of Irish recruiting) have both died early of cancer.

They say only the good die young. Never truer than when applied to Jim Stynes. Displayed inspiring courage during his illness and I cannot believe there is a single person on earth that did'nt like him.
Jim Stynes, RIP.
