James BOLGER Obituary

To Joan and family, I'm saddened to hear about your loss. Jim's quick wit, amazing knowledge of so many topics and clear determination and perseverance was a testimony to his character and the unwavering support from yourself Joan and family.
It was a privilege to have worked with Jim. God bless.

I had the pleasure and honor of getting to know Ambassador Bolger, when he was posted to DC, and I handled his transits and his wait time at the Airport. He and his wife honored me with invitations to receptions at the Embassy, including to a very intimate "farewell" reception. Getting to know Ambassador Bolger - his sense of humor, his love of music - was a wonderful experience; Sending my condolences and prayers to the Bolger family.

Such a beautiful loving man and one of New Zealands best PMs. Condolences to all the Bolger family. Always in our hearts

Dear Joan and family sending love and prayers to you all. I met Jim when he first came to Wellington as a new M.P. He asked me to attend the prayer service and pray for him at St Paul's Cathedral. When in the Convent as Sister Ignatius, I taught Brian, Stephen and Bernadette and I remember Danny, Paul and Fiona. Jim was a good man and politician. He had empathy, a good sense of humour and worked hard. R.I.P. Jim.

May you rest in peace. Thank you for the service to this country and the values you represented. To the family while God took your loved one home, he left behind a precious & priceless gift. This is a gift of memories. Use those memories to help you through these sad moments.

To our dearest Joan and the Bolger family, sending all our love to you at this time. Jim was a great constant in Rob´s life and instrumental to his long political career. You were all such wonderful support after mum´s passing and in the years since, and I have many fond memories of Jim during my childhood. Rest easy, Mr Bolger.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

RIP Jim, what do you say, thinking of you Joan, family & so many memories to sustain you. Hi kids.
