Essendon Football Club wishes to extend its deepest condolences to the Amalfi family following the sad passing of Jim Amalfi, who lost his battle with cancer on Sunday.

Amalfi was a founding member of the Coleman Club coterie group and has been a huge supporter of the club for over 40 years.

Essendon number one ticket holder Bruce Heymanson said Amalfi was a fantastic Essendon person.

“Jim was always very generous, very outgoing and a lovable bloke,” Heymanson said.

“He’s been a great supporter of the club for many decades and provided fruit for the boys for all of those years.”

“He was a real knock about person and a good Essendon person who will be dearly missed.”

Always sad to lose a Bomber supporter. It is somehow moving to know that a person we probably never met cheered the same highs and shared the lows of this great club... Sounds like a great bloke. And here's to all those, unsung, who we never hear about. A little bit of The Force moves on. We'll sing for you.

Condolences to the Amalfi family. Jim was a great man and a true bomber supporter. Melbourne Markets will not be the same without you. RIP Jimmy.
