Condolences & Memories (9 entries)

  • I met Jim in the early 1980's while thumbing to BC with Keith, we stopped in Calgary to visit Tommy and his roommate Jim. The 4 of us spent the next 4 months partying together. Jim, your big smile and great laugh are still my best memories of those fun times. Crazy as a bag full of hammers, RIP Curt aka The Bode - Posted by: Curt Beaudoin (friends) on: Sep 08, 2013

  • I actually just found out today of your passing old buddy. Wow I dont even know where to start here... We went to 4 Labor Day Classics together, worked together, went on "fishing trips" together, partied together. Regardless of what we did the laughing was non stop. We hit it off from the first day you started at CL, it was almost like we had grown up together. You're the only person I know who could fall into a pile of poop and come out wearing a brown suit!! .... Rest in peace my friend, I know you're laughing it up, and keeping everyone on their toes in stitches. Great memories bud!! - Posted by: Dan Rousset (Nutsy) (Friend /Co-Worker Canadian Linen) on: Sep 06, 2013
