Sad News from Cumbria. Goodbye to well known lurcher man


Recommended Posts

Had a phone call this afternoon from my very good friends from Cumbria,The Fawcett family,to say that Jimmy Fawcett had passed away last night,12.1.2012.

I remember meeting Jimmy and his son Tim back in 2003 at Chatsworth for the first time,such a lovely man,he will be sadly missed in the lurcher world.

I also remember the double contested in the open final with Jimmy and Tim at Chatsworth in 2004 with Jimmy winning the championship with Blade and Tim with Storm taking reserve,what a great day for them both.

I will miss you Jimmy R.I.P my old friend,from Pat,Andy and all The Somerset Lurchers.

Thinking of you all at this sad time.

Sorry to double up on the tribute to Jimmy, I just went on and posted without looking but anyone who knew Jimmy wont mind, nice comments, one of the old school and a gentleman who didnt suffer fools gladly, the lurcherworld is much sadder place without him, I took the photos of Chatsworth when Jimmy and Tim double headed. Goodbye to someone I have know for about 25 years, an honour to have known him.RIP Mate.

again pat sorry for butting in---- i had the privilege on meeting Mr jimmy fawcett way back in 1987 at the duke of Buccleugh hunt show, i have and probably never will, meet a man with as much knowledge of the running dog, he was astute in his manner of every dog, not just the type he bred and kept, he also always took the time to chat about all topics on the dogs , giving very sound advice when asked for it, yes it was always correct what he told you, so not only have i lost free advice , i have lost a very very dear old friend-------REST IN PEACE YOU WILL BE SADLY MISSED ---------STUART BELL.
