Sylvia and family ... Our heartfelt condolences on your loss. So shocked to learn the news yesterday but we will always cherish fond memories of Jim from the time you lived on Panter Cr. Our families were among the first to move onto the street almost 40 years ago and I can't forget Jim and Greg helping me to finish planting the tree on our front lawn ... I had fallen into the hole dug from my wheelchair ...
That Japanese cherry still stands , still blooms every spring and now a testament to the great neighbour we had . Our thoughts and prayers are with you . It was a real pleasure knowing Jim . God Bless .

Marlene & Dick Hunt

Dear Sylvia & Family: One of the measures of a person's contribution in life is how they touched our lives. Jim was extraordinary. We only knew him from his association to Pelican Pier MHP. He was a valued addition to the PP community. He participated in all the events, often volunteering his assistance. He lightened everyone's life with his humor. He often boasted about his children and grand children. He was a loving caring man that will be sorely missed. We thank God for having known him. Our deepest condolences to you.
