To Isabelle and children,
I always enjoyed talking to Jim. He always had a twinkle in his eye as he gave me his view on the World. Jim told it like it was. He was a man of his word and very proud of his family. He will be missed.

Our sympathy to the family on your loss. We have good memories of your dad/grandfather pacing the benches of many arenes as his grandchildren played hockey and lacrosse. He was always willing to stop and say a few words but gained too much excitement and enjoyment from viewing from the different vantage points of the arenas. His presence will be missed.
