I met Jimmy a long time ago. We lived together for a couple years until we split up. He’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever been with and a true friend. I still have pictures of us together which I still treasure. I had coffee with him at his apartment on Burrows a couple years back. We’ve kept in touch with his good morning calls as well. I will forever miss him😔 - Posted by: Sue (Ex girlfriend ) on: Apr 10, 2022

Jimmy was a Real Good Friend and I will miss him. Back in the day we partied together, drank together at the Lincoln (The Coon) and at house parties drove Motorcycles together (Jimmy even towed my canary yellow Trike in from St Francois Xavier for me), we had a great time, but, Jimmy was always fascinated/passionate about horses. Jimmy met a rancher north of Winnipeg (Max and his daughter Linda) and worked for Max, doing all the chores one has to do with the care of the horses and he fell in love with the place, along with doing riding lessons Jimmy said he was in paradise. Jimmy said, “I’ve died and gone to heaven”, Well, you are probably there now my friend! See ya on the other side Jimmy! https://www.screencast.com/t/7I0qOhJ8cs0 https://www.screencast.com/t/X6VJ1184Prj8 - Posted by: William (Billy) Elliott (Good Friend) on: Apr 09, 2022
