James Pye, 1927-2010 1st November, 2010

It is with great sadness that we advise that one of our Life Members, Jim Pye, passed away on Friday night, aged 83.

Jim was member of our club since it was formed in 1968, and was awarded Life Membership in the 1980s. Apart from Jim's extensive service to swimming at all levels, he will probably be best remembered in swimming circles for always having a pocket full of minties, ready to hand one to a passing swimmer or parent.

Jim’s funeral will be held on Thursday 4th November 2010, at West Chapel (Pinegrove Cemetery) at 1:30pm. A remembrance of Jim's life and achievements will be held at the Fox Hills Golf Club, directly following the ceremony.

All details will be published in Tuesday edition of the Daily Telegraph.

Any messages of condolence or flowers can be sent to:

Mrs. Glad Pye
11 Lowana Avenue
Merrylands
NSW 2160

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Pye family at this difficult time, and he will be greatly missed.

Details of Jim's involvement with swimming over the years can be found in his Life Member Profile.
