Condolences
Now you have a partner in crime to keep you company. Don’t you and Wanda get into too much trouble up there!
I still miss you terribly.
Always a smile, great to be around and every year…best rum balls on the planet!!. I have known Jim and worked with him for the last 20 plus years and I can say he will be missed.
To the family, my thoughts are with all of you.
I worked with Jim quite some time ago and always enjoyed his company.
Sorry to hear about his passing.
Jim and I worked together for quite some time at Conair on the DC-6. Jim made wicked rum balls that we all enjoyed around Christmas time. My sincere condolences go to to Jim’s family and friends
Jim was always a joy to be around, we spent many late hours working into the night in the NWT keeping aircraft flying. Jim always managed to find a way to have fun despite the conditions and his calm steady approach gave us all perspective on what really mattered.
He was a great man and will always be fondly remembered by his family and friends.
Uncle Gord’s words struck home for me. What would it have been like without Jim? Don’t get me wrong we would have been alright, but we certainly wouldn’t be the fantastic human beings we are today.
Jim taught me a lot of things, more then I can put my finger on. Things like, he taught me the importance of patience and he also taught me the art of losing it at the right moments. He taught me that taunting the people you love is not only fun but sometimes its exactly what they need. He taught me that you don’t always need to hear “I love you” to know you are loved. I know now that it takes a seriously loving and patient man to accept the responsibility of 3 bratty kids, to be with the woman he loves more than anything. Jim was a father to us whether he claimed the title or not.
I feel so very lucky to have 2 loving fathers and so very heartbroken to have lost one of them.
Great guy, great mechanic, great friend. I had the pleasure to experience all three. I will miss him and wish I had put more effort into keeping in touch. Life is very unfair at times. My condolences to all Jim’s family and friends. Jim, you will live on in our hearts forever.
I sure enjoy the memories of the laughs we got to share and I sure wish we could share more. I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
Jim and I went to BCIT together in 1985/86 and then worked together at Conair until his departure. My sincere condolences to Jims family, he was a great guy and a pleasure to have known and grown up with. Tim
Judy,
There are no words to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Please know that you are in our thoughts,
in our hearts and in our prayers.
What a tragedy to lose such a fine and caring man so early in life. We are so very sorry Judi. Sending you and your family prayers and love.
Jim was a great guy and he always knew how to make us laugh! I always enjoyed seeing him at my grandma’s and listening to the stories him & my dad told of their youth!! He will be sadly missed and I really wish I would’ve been able to see him one last time <3 Pigs do fly! Love you Jim xo
I have no words to fully express how we all feel after Jim’s passing. You both hold a piece of our hearts and will miss him so much. We think of him fondly and often, and on those sunny days on the deck with a beer! Always just a call away when you need me!
I’m thankful that I had the pleasure of knowing you. My heart goes out to your loved ones. You will be deeply missed by all.
I will miss you Pig, the sound of your trotters coming up my steps although that has been a long time. The Pig spice and Pig burgers and the rum balls. I loved your humour and how bugging the Cat was your greatest source of joy. I will cherish the times the 4 of us spent together always, one of my favorites was the evenings we spent planning my kitchen reno while Judi and Bjorn were asleep (snoring) on the couch. You made it happen, my friend. Judi, I love you, we all were all so lucky to have had him in our lives and I know you will miss him with all your heart.
Your friend forever, Heather.
Words cannot express the depth of your sorrow, nor comfort you much in this time of loss and grief. He will always be a part of your life.
If you haven’t, please take the time to make a large memory board. I found it strangely comforting to go through all the pictures and talk and laugh and cry with my close family.
My thoughts are with you.
In recent years I have frequently thought of what an amazing “blessing” Jim was to my sister and her kids. I could talk about what a great guy he was, and he certainly was. For me, though, it’s if I try to imagine what might have become of Judi and Kris, Tyler & Casey had Jim not brought that “calm, soft spoken way” into their lives….
Well, I’m simply exceedingly grateful.
And Jim, when I get the car finished, one very serious burnout will be performed in your honour. :)
The true measure of someone is the footprint that they leave behind. Jim leaves huge shoes to fill as he has meant so much to so many and he certainly meant very much to our family. We can never thank him enough for every sacrifice he made and every kind thing he did for our daughter and our family.
His legacy carries on in our hearts and with each beat – we remember.
We love you Judi – be strong!
I grew up with Jim when he would spend the summer holidays across the road from me at his grandparents place. We had alot of fun together as kids. He was one of the funniest guys I know and was a soft spoken gentle soul. I can only hope time can soften the loss to Judi and the rest of the family, with sympathy and love, Aaron Coates
Our hearts and lives will never be the same but the wonderful memories you left us with will live on forever.
I will miss you always “Pig”
Jim was a best friend to most people he liked I was blessed to be one of those…I will miss my little pig FOREVER. WE HAVE LOST A GREAT FRIEND..
Our dear friend Jim,
Take care wherever you may be, we have a
empty spot in our hearts. You will be missed.
We send our love and sympathy in the loss of your beloved Jim.
We pray your hearts be healed and your memories keep you strong.
