I was shocked to learn of Jim's passing. Had NO idea he had been ill. He was such a comfort to my folks who also lived in Parkway Estates as my Mom cared for my Dad who had dementia. AND, after Dad's passing, Jim, especially, helped my Mom with "chores". When she died in Kamloops on August, 2013, Jim arranged to have a "gathering" at Parkway following her internment. I have art work/creations made by Jim and they will ALWAYS be treasured reminders of him AND I KNOW MY MOM AND DAD GREETED JIM WHEN HE ARRIVED IN HEAVEN. GOD BLESS TERRY AND HER FAMILY MEMBERS.

Jim, I was saddened to hear of your passing. I only knew you for a short time while you lived in St. Pierre. Thanks for being my friend when I needed one. Thanks for hearing me out (remember those long, long discussions where we solved most of the worlds problems). Sorry if I kept you up. Thanks......for the memories. - Posted by: Gerald Fontaine (Friend) on: Jul 18, 2015
