Woke up to the heartbreaking news that Jim Cronin, the founder of Monkey World, died of cancer over the weekend. Another angel at RB :(

RIP Jim and thank you

Yes, we care. (However, you did post at 3AM and 6AM in the U.S.; most of us were asleep!)

It's always sad when the animals lose a champion. I hope someone steps up to continue his work.

Rest in Peace Jim Cronin :(

I'm very sorry to hear about this Denise. What age was he? I may have missed it in the article. It's good to know that his wife will continue his work.

Had a lovely letter from Alison Cronin today to say that Monkey World and the ape and monkey rescue work will be continuing just as Jim would have wanted
