Another great loss to the Animal World. My prayers are with Jim's family. God Bless and hold you in his comforting arms.

My deepest sympathy to Jim's family, you will be sadly missed..A very big thank you for all the good work you did for the preservation of the primate world..

May you rest in peace.

Jim will be greatly missed.
he brought the plight of beach chimps to the public eye and made a home for them and helped educate the young and old

let us not forget his message and help stop the trade in our closest relatives

My heart and thoughts go out to Jims family

You may be gone, but you will not be forgotton.

Alison

You did a great thing for the primate world, you will be sadly missed.

My sympathy goes out to his family.

To Jim, may I say thank you for all that you have done, and for all that you gave of yourself as to better the world in which we live. Your work and your love for doing so is greatly admired and appreciated.

To Jim's family and friends, our hearts are saddened and we pray for God's Blessings to be with you and to give you guidance and stength and understanding.

The world is saddened at this loss.... but Jim has taught us by expample. His work and dedication and love will continue on throughout the years to come. How great it is when you know that you have made a difference...a difference that will affect all of us, not just in our lifetime, but for all the years to come.

to Jim's family and friends,

i'm so sorry to hear about the loss of a truely great man. he will be sorely missed by those who knew him and those who admire him. he's touched alot of hearts, but like catbus said above his work will be continued throughout the generations to come and he will never be forgotten.

my thoughts and prayers are with you. x

I was never a big follower of Jin, in fact I didn't know who he was untill I heard about his passing but I love monkeyworld so I did know of his workd. He did great things for the animal world. My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time

I am sorry to hear of Jim's passing. The world has lost another great man my thoughts and prayers go out to his family!! RIP

I was so shocked and saddened to hear that Jim had passed away. He was a wonderful unassuming man, who along with Alison and many others highlighted the plight of primates around the world.

I have visited Monkey World, and we have adopted 2 Chimps and 1 Orangutan.

My heart goes out to Alison, family and colleagues.

One thing I am disappointed with is the lack of coverage in the media following Jim's passing. And also I have to say that despite Animal Planet putting a tribute on their website, there is no obituary on the end credits of 'Monkey Business.

Bless you Jim.

Such a sad loss and so terribly premature.My thoughts are with Alison and his friends and collegues.I'm sure history will acknowlegde their work as truely enlightened.I whole heartedly agree that there ought to be a tribute on animal planet.Jim's gentle charm and enthusiasum made so much of Monkey World's work accessible and understandable to a wider world. We are poorer for his absense.

WHY? WHY? WHY?

I can't believe this terrible news. I had no idea this had happened until now. What a terribe loss, another one of the greats gone. Jim was to the monkey world what Steve Irwin was to the Croc world. A truly terrible loss.

My heart goes out to his family and I hope they have the strength to carry on his cause without him.

I can't believe it.
I was on vacations, I return last week and one of the firs thing I did was visit the animal planet page. I live in chile but in animalplanetlatino.com wasn't appear anything. I'm really sad. Monkey Bussines is one of my favourite programmes.
Yes it's another great loss.
Many hugs to him wife.

Another sad day for the animal world. Thoughts go out to his family and friends

Such terrible sad news, Jim was a real hero and he (and his wife and team) truly touched my heart and educated me with.
I hope Jim is in Monkey heaven now

It is really sad to know that Jim is now lost to us. We were in the park a few short hours after he died and we didn't know.

This site

http://www.thetad.net/jimcronin.htm

has a good tribute page for Jim, and it contains lots of links to worldwide obituaries and articles about him.

Ilcolello, thank you for posting this. I think we have all had difficulty finding anything the last few days. He indeed was a very special person and will be missed. But I do believe that he too has laid that path that so many will follow. His love and dedication has touched millions and he has made a difference that will last for all time.

The world was a better place with someone like Jim in it. More than anything my sympathies go out to Alison and all their family and friends. At the same time I mourn for what we have all lost and I think the animal world, and the planet, has lost a great champion in this amazing man.

I will be making a donation to the Jim Cronin Memorial Fund at Monkey World because this man's legacy must continue.

I am so dissappointed that there is so little response to this, I feel sad. Does the world not know yet? JIM CRONIN IS DEAD !!!!!!!!

another great loss. My thoughts to all who knew him.... human and hairy. We'll miss you mate. XXX
