Margaret we were very sad to hear of Jim’s passing. Jim always had a friendly warm smile, a helping hand, a joke and a story to tell. Jim got Jeff through many a winter night at Freemont with his humour and outgoing personality. He was one of a kind! We have many great memories of good times with Jim and Margaret over the years.
Always in our hearts. Our heartfelt condolences to Margaret and family.

Dear Margaret and family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences with the loss of James. Jim and I worked together at the Cascades MBM mill on Bramalea Road during the thirty-seven years I was employed there as a millwright. I had the chance to see him a couple of times at the home he stayed at in Brampton, and was surprised that he recognized me after not having seen him since my retirement in 2013.

My biggest memories of Jim was his love of nature and animals, especially dogs., and most especially Smokey. We send all of you, and your families, our deepest sympathy and know we are thinking of you.

My deepest condolences to all the Brown family. Jim was a great guy. Always cheerful, sincere, funny and helpful. I worked at Domtar up until 1994 and enjoyed seeing him when he came into the shop. I stopped by, on the way to our cottage, to borrow a tool for the weekend and he showed me around and told me how much he enjoyed hitting balls with family and friends.
Rest in peace Jim

Jim was a great neighbour during our years living on the Gore Rd. He always teased us about not puting up a gate on our drive. He said he never would and we never did! Rest in peace Jim.
