Die inwoners en personeel van Die Eilandhuis in St. Helenabaai is in rou gedompel n\u00e1 die sterfte van Jimmy Duncan (73).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jimmy het n\u00e1 \u2019n kort siekte weens \u2019n longinfeksie vinnig verswak en is op Woensdag 24 Julie oorlede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jimmy is die stigter van Eilandhuis en het di\u00e9 instansie in 2005 op die been gebring. As \u2019n pa van \u2019n gestremde dogter het hy die besluit geneem om \u2019n veilige hawe vir mense met gestremdhede te stig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens suster Maxie Potgieter, wat jare saam met Jimmy gewerk het, het hy sy werk as blokman opgegee en sy droom met harde werk en toewyding bewaarheid. \u201cHy het nie net \u2019n struktuur opgerig nie, maar \u2019n veilige hawe met sorg en liefde vir mense met gestremdhede gevestig,\u201d s\u00ea Potgieter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy beskryf Jimmy as \u2019n eenvoudige mens, en juis dit het sy nederigheid en omgee vir ander weerspie\u00ebl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMeneer Jimmy was uniek in sy soort. Hy was \u2019n geweldig behulpsame mens wat nooit sou neersien op ander nie. Hy was \u2019n passievolle mens wat gestreef het om vir die gestremde kinders \u2019n geleentheid te bied waarin hulle hulself kon uitleef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was \u2019n onbaatsugtige, onselfsugtige mens, wat homself altyd opsy geskuif het om ander mense eerste te stel. Sy ondersteuning en hulp vir ander het geen perke geken nie, ongeag wie die mens of mense was. Sy lewe het absoluut gedraai rondom die kinders van Eilandhuis. Meneer Jimmy het pa gestaan nie net vir die gestremde kinders by Eilandhuis nie, maar vir die mens, die gemeenskap en soveel meer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Potgieter voeg by dat die personeel van Eilandhuis mekaar as familie beskou en dat Jimmy \u2019n ware steunpilaar was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy was nooit te siek of te oud om sy hulp aan te bied nie. Meneer Jimmy Duncan se legacy<\/span> sal vir altyd voortleef. Hy sal baie gemis word deur sy familie, kollegas, vriende, kennisse, die gemeenskap, die ouers van die inwoners by Eilandhuis en al die kinders van die Eilandhuis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie Eilandhuis was die plek waar hy tuisgevoel het. Dit sou sy wens gewees het om van familie, vriende, kennisse en die gemeenskap hier afskeid te neem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/span> \u2019n Huldeblyk en diens is Saterdag 3 Augustus om 10:00 by die Eilandhuis gehou. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die inwoners en personeel van Die Eilandhuis in St. Helenabaai is in rou gedompel n\u00e1 die sterfte van Jimmy Duncan
