I will always remember the days we spent as house mates in Rio Vista with Ken. And our fantastic neighbours who always look out/after each other. Our days at the condo gym/pool, the chit chats and beer sessions. The Harry Potter story telling sessions you had with us. Never felt so close and like a family with friends and neighbours before. The feeling was simply awesome.
Rest well and luv always.

Jimmy and I go way back to the Megaforce Days ....... The first time I met him was on X'mas eve in 1992, during the Ingersoll Dinner & Dance and he was doing his dance repertoire with Mark VC as Emcee and Alfred as Coordinator. Boy did he blow me away; he was a flamboyant performer with abundance of zest, talent and an uncanny ability to hold a crowd. He captivated all in his 20 mins segment!
Oh yes ! I remember a short period of performing with him in Mix Media, his comical skit performance troupe … and working with him as sales person. Oh did I mention that new Mac computer that he was so happy with - being a graphic designer that he was; we were trying so hard to get it to print ... Ahhhhh our happy hour drinks after work ...sharing his woes …..karaoke at Harry’s Sushi… ~ all the small snippets that I remember brings a smile to my face!
In my 2006 wedding, Jimmy Newton my friend and emcee conducted a killer act as my MC for my special night. To this day, I thank him for making it more than special.
A man with many faces and a friend with one. He loved hard and cried hard.
Although I am oceans away, the distance does not diminish the painful loss of a dear friend.
For me and I am sure for many too, Jimmy is stamped in our hearts and mind forever.
He is greater than life and will be the legend that he had always meant to be. My tears shed are for a dear man, I call friend. …
A Mona Lisa in my Le Louvre ~ Forever Beautiful and Forever Cherished.
Luv always,
Tanny
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel about you gone, Jimmy ...... but let us share comfort in knowing you are no longer suffering.
You brought so many gifts to our lives and we will never forget that.
Although its difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort us tomorrow ~ Wish I could be there in Singapore to say goodbye but I will definitely be there in spirit and may you rest in peace ....
'Jimmy's distinctive laughter, his voice, his dance steps, his pair of creative hands, his smile, his potent single liners and more...' The list goes on and on... We can never forget the good times we shared at all the events we've executed together.
He will always be a part of us... forever...
