Jim McCafferty

We were all so sad to hear of the passing of the lovely man that was Jim McCafferty. He was what you would say 'a dote'. A gentle, quiet spoken, modest, hard-working gentleman. He was also a kind neighbour on Maywood Grove. We have fond memories of his Sliderobes van parked in the driveway in earlier years and in latter years walking by the house to and from the Cedars and just out walking. Himself and our Dad, Danny, had a great rapport. And a lot of time for each other. Our deepest condolences to Mari, Pat and Ian and extended families at this difficult time. May his gentle kind soul rest in peace.

Dear Mari, Pat and Ian, sincere condolences on the death of your lovely dad Jim. He was such a good and kind man and warmth, good humour and serenity seemed to emanate from him. He was a great friend and neighbour to our dad Jerry, who enjoyed his company and kindness very much during life and especially during his own illness, which we will always remember and appreciate. May Jim rest in peace.

Sincere sympathies Joe Littleton and family and all the McCafferty family.

Dearest Ian, Pat, Mari & extended family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I have nothing but the fondest of memories of Jim & Margaret growing up in Bettyglen, such kind and gentle people. I always loved Jim's soft Scottish accent & I enjoyed many a chat with him on the road over the years. As a child it was such a thrill when he would take a gang of us to Dollymount beach to play football in his Sliderobes van, such lovely memories. God bless you Jim & may your gentle soul rest in peace.

We were so lucky to have Jim in our Forgetmenots choir, he was a treasured member and will be greatly missed, may he rest in gentle peace

So sad to hear of the passing of Jim. A treasured fellow member of the Forget Me Nots choir. Such a gentle soul, may he Rest in Peace

I'm so sorry to hear about the death of Jim McCafferty, one of our lovely members of The Forget-Me-Nots Choir. Jim and his wife Margaret joined us many years ago and were a gentle presence as we rehearsed in Baldoyle Community Centre every Tuesday. I did some radio work for Christmas FM one year and asked our members for their favourite Christmas memories - Jim said in his gorgeous Scottish accent 'I remember getting a packet of orange flavoured Spangles, the best Christmas treat ever' - may he rest in peace - we will miss him.

We wish to express our sincere sympathy to Mari, Pat, Ian and their families, Fr Pat, extended Mc Cafferty and Littleton families on the death of your beloved Jim.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

To all Scottish Jim's family we send our sincere condolences. Jim was a wonderful and friendly man who will be fondly remembered and sorely missed. Many a good evening in the Cedars was had. Reunited now with Margaret. Rest in peace Jim.

My sincere condolence to you Mari, Ian, and Pat, all the grandchildren, and extended families.
I always loved Jim’s Scottish accent , which he never lost. He was a lovely jolly man, and happy with his life.
His departure leaves a big loss in all your lives, and you will sorely miss him.
Rest peacefully Jim , as you are reunited with Margaret.
Unfortunately I am unable to attend Jim’s funeral.

So sorry for your loss, sending thoughts and prayers from all the McCafferty family in Salsburgh, especially my dad Tom (Jim’s brother) Rest in peace uncle Jim.

Ian, Pat, Mari, and extended family, so sorry for your loss. I'm reminded of better years, some decades ago mind you, when the houses in Maywood and Bettyglen were filled with younger versions of ourselves chatting away to friendly parents like Jim and Margaret (before many a night out)! Even more recently, there was always time for a quick chat and catch up with Jim when out walking. Kind welcoming hearts. Lots of love, Dónal, María, and Poppy the dog.

Mari Pat and Ian So sorry to hear the sad news about your lovely Dad. May Jim rest in peace. The Trehy Family

Very sorry to hear of Jim's passing and condolences to all his family. Jim introduced me to the Alzheimers Social Club on a Friday when I was caring for my late Mam who had dementia. We both loved it and I will always be grateful to Jim for it. He was a lovely kind and generous man. RIP Jim.

Sending my heartfelt condolences to Mari, Pat, Ian and family at this sad time.
Jim always had time for a friendly chat if I met him on the road on the way to my mam’s.
A true gent and wonderful next-door neighbour.
Maywood will not be the same without you.

Jim will be greatly missed next door. A great neighbour and friend for the last 50+ years. Rip Jim.

Our family had the pleasure of knowing Jim and Margaret from attending the Alzheimer’s club on a Friday. They were a beautiful couple, Jim always had time for chats and gave great advice he was an absolute gentleman. Thinking of you all at this very difficult time.

It's with a heavy heart I have heard of my lovely neighbour Jim McCafferty's passing. A sweet man whose Scottish accent one Christmas finally confirmed for me that Father Christmas was a myth. I wasn't disappointed and if I think of Santa I always think of Jim. More recently my older son Patrick had multiple occasions to pop into Jim to get the ball back and despite Patrick putting the ball in 4 or five times into Jim's garden in the space of an hour or two..Jim never once grumbled, though he may have joked about Patricks ball skills. Jim was always pleasant to us as kids and it's sad to say farewell to such a great neighbour. Hugs to his children, our childhood friends, Mari, Pat & Ian. A-Team!
