Athol James Day
1925 – 2009
Athol`s funeral service held 10/7/2009 at Reflections 36a Glendale Drive Glendale
My name is Jim KABLE (b 29.May.1949)
Athol James (Jim) DAY was the third husband of my mother – Elaine Betty (nee RUSSELL) – of Tamworth. She was his second wife (he had formerly been divorced, I understand – and had a number of children – five? – to that marriage). The marriage to my mother lasted a decade or so until difficulties led to divorce – after which – surprisingly perhaps – their friendship resumed – and lasted until his death in Newcastle in early July, 2009. Jim spent many years out in the opal fields of north-western NSW – and was creative in his construction of ornamental trees of copper-wired opal pieces. I am hazy on the dates for marriage and divorce because for most of the period 1990-2009 I was living and teaching in Japan.
Requiescat in Pace!
