In reply to Rob Naylor:
So, "Wobbly" (as Mo used to call him) has gone - very sad news.
Jim and I go back to the early 70's and I like to joke that I knew him before he was Jim Curran !
There are many memories of Jim, from climbs in Wales and the Peak to beers and parties in Sheffield, but my favourite memory of him has nothing to do with climbing.
Jim played football a couple of times for Edale FC in the early 70's along with myself, Bill Beech and Geoff Birtles. He really was not very good but on one occasion when he wasn't paying much attention the ball skidded off his head into the back of the net ! He never stopped talking about "his goal" !
RIP Jim - the only daughter I knew was Gemma and I will try get a message to her.

PS : I am writing this downstairs in my house in British Columbia under strict instructions from my wife Hazel, who knew and loved Jim, not to get maudlin and drink too much - not much chance of that !
