Dear Gladys & Family

I wish to extend my sympathy and condolences to you and your family for your sudden loss-I’m finding it difficult to accept the fact that Jim is no longer with us –I considered Jim a true and valued friend who came into my life at the time of his Articles and we have been in touch with each other since then from time to time. Jim was always prepared to freely give of his time.

Jim will be greatly missed by us all

Our condolences to the Strilchuk family. We will never forget Jim’s kindness and friendship. When we came to Calgary in 1976, Jim was Gerry’s principal and provided him with his articles and a job in his firm. Later on our paths crossed less frequently, usually at Flamrs games. We were always greeted by Jim with a warm smile and a twinkle in his eye. He was a fine man and will be greatly missed. Please accept our sincerest sympathies. Gayle and Gerry

Gladys, Michael & Kathryn

Dear Gladys & Family

Losing a husband and a Dad can cause a loneliness unlike any other, but having your children near will help ease the difficulty of the days ahead.

Sincerely

Franz & Irma Portmann

Gladys, Michael, Kathryn and Jamison

Bill and I are sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. We knew you while we were at the U.of A. and in the earlier years of our marriage. You and I both taught for the Separate School Board in Calgary. We were so touched by the article in the paper about Jamison and his grandfather. We are very sorry for your loss.

Bill and Sandra Blain

Words cannot express how saddened and shocked we were to read of Jim’s passing.

Vic and Gladys taught together when they first started their teaching careers, so it was natural that Jim became our lawyer from the time we were first married until the present. Although our legal needs were small, Jim was always there, along with Melanie to help and assist no matter how trivial our needs were, from writing our wills to helping with my duties as executress of two estates and always made time for us. I am certain that Jim could attribute some of his grey hairs to my many questions and calls of panic during ths time.

Jim was a friend and not just a lawyer who treated every query and individual with the same attention and respect. All of his clients were of equal importance.

Jim deeply loved all of you as every meeting with him began with an update on how our families were with a highlight of the kids and grandkids and Jim’s obvious pride in all of you followed by Gladys’ newest paintings in his office which he knew I so admired. He often said how lucky he was to have such a wonderful and loving family.

Jim will be deeply missed by so many of us who were lucky enough to have crossed paths with such a wonderful person. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and take comfort in knowing that we all grieve with you.

Vic and Irene Bruzga

Glady and family; Our sincere condolances to you and your family at this sad time. We have happy memories of the tour to California and the time we spent with you many decades ago. Jim got his wish of living life to the fullest to the end, for him that was fortunate, but sad for you.

My Dear Gladys, Kathryn & Michael:

You are very special to our family because of your association with my late husband Bill when you were both active in the Catholic School Local in the mid ’60s.

Because of you, our husbands met playing golf, and they continued their friendship with Stampeder Football season tickets. For many years you and I accompanied them to the games.

We also recall with fondness, the many Stampede Parade Day parties that you and Jim held including everyone’s children. Jim always had a special treat for each child to take home.

Jim was so generous with his time to our family for the next 45 years. We continue to hold him in High Esteem!

We love you all! R.I.P. Jim.

Fondly, Connie & Family

Dear Gladys & Family,

Our sympathy and prayers on the loss of a fine person – husband, father and gradfather. We will always have fond memories of Jim.

Sincerely,

Willis & Betty O’Leary

Gladys and Family: I worked for Jim when he first started out in law and tried to stay in touch over the years. I am so sad to hear of his death but as you say he would not want sorrow but would want us to remember him as full of life and living it with all his heart. He was always so generous with his time and advice. Heartfelt wishes to you and your family.

Greer and Bob

Gladys, Michael and Katherine:

I just heard the sad news about your dad. He looked so vibrant and healthy in his photos. After my dad passed two years ago it was very hard, it does get less painful and I guess heals in a way that I can’t explain. You will understand in a few months what I mean. However in my opionon time does not make it easier, just copable. Please take time to grieve and honor him with not trying to cover all the emotions that you will be experienceing in the next few months, If anytime you need to talk with someone that has been there recently, please call me on my cell any time. I will always remember him walking me home in that huge fur coat of his when I babysat you two children at the time. Trust me I am very thankful for Botox when I see how wonderful you both look on facebook.

My prayers and throughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Love Susan (Swartzlander Kasper)

PS Gladys I have some purses I thought you might be interested in.

Dear Gladys, Kathryn, Michael & family

I was saddened to learn of Jim’s passing and wanted to let you know my thoughts are with you. I learned much from him as a boss but also appreciated him as a friend. His intelligence, kindness and ready wit charmed everyone. Jim was someone who lit up a room with his presence and was a true original. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Gladys,

I was very sad to hear of Jim’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and my admiration for your devotion to Jim.

Laura Schurer
