I remember when our mom and dad brought him home from the hospital, Jimmy was born May 20th, 1962. Dad and mom brought him home and I was just getting home from school, dad said Lin come in and meet your new baby brother, and dad was sitting in his chair in the kitchen with this so cute baby boy, he took Jimmy's booties off him and I saw his little (not so little) feet, lol,, he was so cute,, I never ever dreamed he would only see 54 yrs old,, its just so wrong, now Wayne and I lost our little brother as well as our mom and dad, Jim go up to heaven and show grandma all your amazing receipts ok, you, mom, dad, grandma and grandpa celebrate Thanksgiving up in the spirit world or heaven,, we love you always have and always will, you're gone but my baby brother you will never be forgotten ok,, you took my heart with you when you left,, no amount of upset in our family was worth loosing you for none of it, love you little brother , love your big sister Linda and brother-in-law John and our whole family, xo - Posted by: Linda and John Ormiston (sister and brother inlaw) on: Oct 09, 2016

My brother joined the Canadian Armed Forces long after I did...we served together in Victoria, CFB Esquimalt. I now pay tribute to his memory from one service person to another...he was Army and I was Navy..we had an explosive military career together...we both served overseas...but shared some memories. Although we served in different components....I still wish him Aye Ready Aye Jim, you have stood watches the same as I did...now it is time for you to "Stand Your Eternal Watch" I will miss you... Sleep In Peace... Your Brother Wayne - Posted by: Wayne Bennink, MTA, CD1 (Brother) on: Oct 01, 2016
