My Brilliant Brother Jimmy, He was a fabulous person , and a Master Drummer, He loved his career and his Family. So talented and dedicated to his profession. We lost him far to early. He was amazed that so many of his Contemporaries , came to visit him , in the final weeks of his life. Such a wonderful humble person. He was my only Sibling, I loved him to bits. The whole Family loved him, we miss him beyond words. He loved playing the drums , and new he had been able to play with fantastic Musicians through his life, and accepted his fate so Bravely, Never forgotten, always in our Hearts. xx

Jimmy was such a lovely genuine guy, kind, interested and interesting, he was loved by many. And is sadly missed by more xxxx

Copley's work on Paul Rodgers' Now & Live double LP clued me in to his stuff. Lefty playing a righty kit always so remarkable - everything's on the wrong side. ;-)

Wonderful tribute, but a shame the dates are wrong at the end. Might be nice to amend them.
