Dear Peggie,

I wish you well in the time ahead.

As I always said anyone who did not like Jim Cotsworth did not like anyone!

That was the man that I knew for over 35 years. Our relationship started out as

a business relationship but extended into a personal one. We worked together

and we played together travelling to the coast on business and getting some

fishing and gourmet dining in while there. Of course the prime object of the

trips was always the business issues we had to resolve to the satisfaction of

he and Sultran. But always the wit of my dear friend Jim seemed to enlighten

all in attendence that business dealings could always be compatible.

Then came retirement! Jim and I expanded our friendship to include Peggie and

my wife Jan more then did while working. We attended the theatre at the Jube,

dined out and found a bit of time to check out the local casinos – on very rare

occasions of course.

I will always remember our last trip to the coast – and I Promised Peggie I would

take good care of Jim – was June 2008. Our good friend Gary Thompson in

Vancouver took us on his boat “Kalihi”, a 48 footer, and we cruised up to Indian

Arm and overnighted on the boat. A lot of crib was played and money changed

hands but a super time was had by all. Jim was tired out when I got him back

to Calgary but I will never forget the huge smile he had on his face when I got

him home to Peggie.

Jim was a dear friend and I have so many memories that I will cherish for the rest of

my lifetime. God bless you Jim and rest in peace.
