We have so many wonderful memories of “Stapes” from the days of our youth to reconnecting just last year. To Gwen, Betty, Cathy, Elizabeth and Kelly…please accept our sincere thoughts and prayers for your family.

I was saddened to learn that your son Jim was taken from you all too soon. He certainly filled his life. I am sorry that you have this loss.

We extend our deepest sympathy and prayers to you, Gwen and the rest of the Stapleton family on the sudden loss of Jim.

Dear Kelly, Betty, Gwen, Kathy, Elizabeth and family…

My heart is aching for you.

I know how much you all loved Jim, and I know how much he loved all of you.

I was blessed by knowing him and what an amazing man he was, and is…. there is a very special place for him in heaven.

I will be there for all of you in Perth.

My love and prayers are with you.

Dear Cathy, Bob and your entire family,

Our most sincere condolences at this very difficult time. We offer our prayers and support across the miles from Ontario.

John & Irene

Dear Gwen and family.

The best word for me to describe Jim is ‘Mentorship’. He is someone I looked up to and without a doubt I would not be where I am in life without him and his hard work. To me he seemed invincible. Thanks for teaching me soo much. I will never forget.

Dear Gwen,

We are shocked and sorry to hear about Jim. I’m glad I played a few games of golf with him in the last few years as it meant I got to know him better. I rarely saw him for the earlier twenty years or so when we were all working.

We will see you for the Service for him back here in Perth. If you need any help closing up the cottage for the winter let me know. I’ve had lots of practice closing mine, so I’m getting pretty good at it.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Brian and Kate

Gwen and The Stapleton Family

So sad to hear the sudden news while spending time with my family in Sudbury.

Enjoyed seeing both of you in Perth last August, can not get my mind around the unexpected loss you are experiencing.

My love and prayers are with you during this time. Hope to see you in Perth in the short term.

Bernie & Chris Consitt

Gwen, we were shocked to read about Jim’s passing. We are thinking of you and wish you strength at this difficult time. We missed you guys at the cabin this summer!

Dear Gwen, Betty, Cathy, Kelly and Elizabeth.

Anne and I are so shocked and sorry to hear about Jim. We didn’t get to see him much over the years, but followed his (and Gwen’s) exploits through Gwen’s facebook reporting. There was Jim, always with that gentle smile.

Our deepest sympathies.

Dear Gwen

Words cannot begin to express our feelings for you and the family. Take care and we will see you in Perth.

Dear Gwen, Betty, Cathy, Elizabeth and Kelly –

Jim my brother, I love you and will miss you everyday, you were always there for me when I needed you in my life for support, understanding and unconditional love. No one could have a better brother. You will always be in my heart and soul. Miss you so much

Love your sister. FAITH FAMILY FRIENDS

Gwen and family,

Jim and I are so sorry for your loss. Words really can’t explain how we feel, but I was sent this saying and thought I would share it with you.

“All that is past and all that is present seems meaningless when faced with the loss of someone who shared moments of time in my life” “All that remains is the love we shared and the fun we had and how they enriched my Life”

Betty, Gwen and Girls,

Losing someone is never easy especially at such a young age. I am really sorry for your loss. At times like these you have to lean on your faith and try to accept that God has a bigger purpose for us. May all the love that surrounds you give you strength.

May you take comfort in knowing there is one more angel above us.

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to Gwen, Betty,& family. We have very much enjoyed Jim at Otty Lake the past few summers. Our thoughts & prayers are with all of you at this sad time.

Dear Gwen. Our very sincere condolences. May strength of family and friends help you through this difficult time.

The entire Witteveen family of Ottawa (formerly Blossom Park) extend our condolences and deep sympathy for your loss.

Our prayers are with you all.

Heidi

Gwen, it is with great sadness to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a great person and I very much enjoyed working for him at Jentek.

Thinking of all of you at this sad time. I only met Jim a few times but enjoyed his sense of humour and appreciated how kind he was to his sister Kelly. He and Gwen were well matched as they both were so great when meeting new people. You felt comfortable as if you had known them for a long time and could enjoy a few laughs with them. Such a loss.

Dear Stapleton Girls,

I am thinking of you all and wishing you strength and hope during this very sad time. What an extremely sad loss for you all and anyone who knew Jim.

Love and Prayers,

Karen

Gwen/ and the Stapleton family, our thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time of sadness. I had the pleasure of golfing with both of you this past summer at our Consitt golf tourney here in Perth and really enjoyed the calming nature that Jim and you both have and the love of life. He will be sadly missed by all who shared in his presence. We are both thinking of you at this time, Paul & Laurie Consitt, Perth, Ontario

Mrs Staplton, Cathy, Elizabeth, Kelly and Gwen,

We met Jim and did not know him well but heard of his good deeds and his several passions many times from good friend Cathy. He was much loved and will be much missed. Our thoughts are with you all at this time.

To Gwen, Betty and Family,

We are so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. He was such a good man and had a wonderful love of life. We were telling stories of some of the fun everyone had with him. May all the wonderful memories you have of him keep you strong. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you all.

Dear Gwen, Betty, Cathy, Elizabeth & Kelly.

Don & I we so shocked and saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. We are so grateful to have spent time this summer at Otty Lake. We will never forget Jim’s kindness and patience with our grandson.
