In many ways Jim was the spark that allowed me the opportunity to Canada. In 1994 I was working in Houston on a due diligence assignment of Gulf Canada. That is when I met Jim and the efforts he was leading to recover a very substantial refund of overpaid income taxes. I was asked whether I might be interested in a tax role and quickly replied the company would be far better served under Jims leadership than mine. I did join the company in another capacity but part of that decision was influenced by my very high confidence in Jim. He was a man of strong character, which was demonstrated every day, but also one of compassion and humor. My world was made all the better for having met him and having the opportunity to work with him. God Bless you Jim, now and forever.

Dear Annemarie, Chris, Alyssa and Erin,

We are so sorry to hear that you have lost your wonderful husband and Dad! I’m sorry that we can’t attend his celebration of life. I wanted to tell you some of the very special things I remember about Jim:

-his raucous laugh –I loved it!

-he worked so hard to make hockey and lacrosse fun and memorable for all of the boys!

-his great pride in all of his children and all of the stories he would proudly tell about them!

-his winter gloves that made a sharp clapping sound whenever Chris or his team did something well!

-that big gorgeous grin!

-his concern for the folks around him and his willingness to help whenever he could!

-his fabulous organizational abilities and how he made it all look easy!

-his deep love for you, Annemarie and for his children!

I think the world is a sadder place without Jim but all those folks in heaven won’t know what’s hit them!

Please accept our sincere condolences!

Your personal strength, support, and continual positive spirit throughout Jim’s illness was amazing. We knew Jim through your eyes – what a wonderful man he must have been! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this very sad time.

I hope that you will be comforted in knowing how well Jim was regarded by those of us with whom he worked.

There are no words at this time that will help, but we hope you will reach out to us at any time you need us. We will certainly be there for you.

Quinner & I shared a lot of good times during the Hibernia negotiations. I always had the highest respect for Jim; his sense of humor, his humility & his great intelligence. He definitely was one of the “good” guys. He will be missed but always remembered. My condolences to Annemarie and his family.

Dear Quinn Family,

Caroline and I are deeply saddened by the news of Jim’s passing. However, I find some measure of solice knowing that Jim’s memory and life will live on through his wonderful family and children. Undoubtedly, his grandchildren will hear stories of his kindness, his determination and his accomplishments.
