James MCLAUGHLAN Obituary

McLAUGHLAN, James Robin
(Jim, Jimmy, Kojak):
On 23rd August 2020, with Marilyn, James and Katrina by his side. Cherished, deeply loved husband and best friend of his wife of 49 years, Marilyn. He will be so missed by his loving son and best mate James and his adored daughter Katrina. Jim's four Grandies; Zene, Roman, Sabine and Grayson will always remember the precious years they had with their awesome Poppa. An extremely close family, heartbroken at losing this very special man. He will be sorely missed by his huge group of friends from the Police and insurance fraternities, rugby associates, and most of all, his lifelong mates. Messages for the McLaughlan family may be left in Jim's tribute book at www.tributes.co.nz. A private cremation has been held.

So very sad to learn of Jimmy's untimely passing. Jimmy was a great wing mate, section mate, CIB and AOS colleague. Jimmy was held in the highest esteem by all those who were fortunate enough to know him. He will be sorely missed. I know that all his Court Astley brothers are grieving, myself included. RIP Jimmy Mac.

Sad news indeed, that such a great guy should have passed. Memories of rugby coaching together and guiding young men along a better road. He touched many hearts and left a mark where ever he went.

Marilyn, James, Katrina - no one can imagine your pain and suffering at this tragic time. Unfortunately words in themselves do not really help, but I know you will get many messages of love and support. These hopefully will ease your pain. As one of Jim's many Cort Astley brothers I am devastated that he has left us. A kind, gentle caring and humble person who will be very much missed by us all. My love and sincere condolences to you all. RIP Jimmy Mac
