To Peggy and Family, Sorry to read of your Father’s passing on the Egan web site. I will always remember his kindness to my Mother during her stay at the Glasgow Rd. apartments so many years ago. Be proud of the many years he shared with you and the happy memories that he left.

I first met Jim many years ago when the Helping Hands Volunteers of The Davis Centre were planning a wedding shower for Jack Gardiner. Jim had been chosen as Jack’s ‘Best Man’ so I had contacted him to enlist his help with the guest list for the shower. What a lovely and fun loving man, who I eventually also came to know in his role of volunteer with Caledon Meals on Wheels. Jim was always up for a joke and a smile and was a true and loyal friend to many of the clients he visited and to all his neighbours and friends at the Glasgow Road apartments. He touched a great many lives and left so many wonderful, joyful memories. My sincere and deepest condolences to all his family of whom he spoke so proudly.
