It would appear from newspaper reports that our good mate from Canberra, Jim McKinley died in a house fire yesterday.
This is a great loss to the Canberra Club and to shooting in general.
Jim was a larger than life character, whose parade ground voice could be heard as Range Officer at the Australia Day Matches each year.
I have known Jim for around 30 years - he was, simply, a good bloke.
Condolences and sincere sympathies to his family.
We are very much diminished.

He was one of the good guys.

Shocked by the news and deeply saddened.
You don't meet many blokes like Jim in a lifetime. An allround good guy.
A great ambassador for the sport who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

Does anybody have an address to which cards etc may be sent, or any idea of the funeral time?
