James Spencer Mee

Steve, Brenda and Corran, thinking of You All at this time. End of an Era.

I am so sad to hear of the passing of Mr Mee. He gave me my first job as a 17 year old back in 1995 and continued to provide me with holiday work whilst I was at University. He was the kindest, smartest and had razor sharp wit. I have remembered him fondly over the years. My thoughts are with you all at this very sad time.

Our first encounter with Jim was in his office in Spey St around 1989/90 we had just purchased our first house and needed a lawyer quick! I walked in and he was sitting there, I asked him how much for S&P and he said I can do that for $600 I was thrilled as others were way more and we had no money. We moved into our home and the invoice arrived in the mail which was more than advised so I went to see Jim and said look we have this invoice but you quoted $600, he stood there and said if thats what I told you then thats what the charge is throw that away! So Jim became our lawyer for over 30 years, always loved catching up with him and having a chat about his adventures to the tennis. He will be missed by many clients I am sure. He most definitely was one of a kind❤️condolences to his family.

Very sad to hear of Jim's passing. I've been very lucky to have known Jim for 25 years. Always loved chatting to him, whether it was brief or more than 5 minutes, he always managed to hang up on the phone faster than I could say goodbye! Loved his humour, wealth of knowledge, but most of all his honesty. Sadly, a trait that's harder to come by these days. Will miss our chats.

Condolences to the family,
Jim will be sadly missed , he has left us with great racing memories and plenty of pictures on our walls . We had a lot of success together over the years and we will never forget them . Jim had done so much for the Southland racing industry and was part of it until the end .
Rest in Piece Jim
Lots of love “Taplin Racing Stables “
Lots of love Kerry (King) Taplin & Ian Taplin & family .

We were sad to read that Jim had passed. He was a generous man with a great sense of humour. The Hector and Milly stories kept us well entertained. Thank you Jim for being part of our lives, you and the dogs have enriched our lives and will never be forgotten. Our condolences to your family.

Deepest sympathy to all the family Jim was my cousin and I have great memories of Jim,Marie and Barrie during my frequent holidays at Bendhu

Sincere Condolences
