With great sadness we must report that Jimmy Rosser, stalwart seafarer and life member of MUNZ, passed away on Saturday 15th July.
His funeral was well attended by mates and comrades made during his many years in our industry, with many stories shared that spoke to to his excellent character.
Jimmy was a mentor to many and a friend to all. He will be fondly remembered and sorely missed.
Vale Jimmy Rosser!
