JAMIE (JIM) DENNIS VERMEULEN SOLDIER AND PEACEKEEPER It is with a great deal of sadness that the family of Corporal J. Vermeulen of the 2nd Battalion P.P.C.L.I. announces the death of Jamie, aged 38, who died July 6, 2003 as a result of accidental injuries, while stationed in Croatia. Jamie was on his fourth tour of peace-keeping duties in the Balkan States. He also served in Baden, Germany. Well liked, he will always be remembered for his kindness, a ready smile, humour, a willingness to help, hard work and dedication to duty. Although never married, he was proud and especially attentive and kind to his niece, nephew and the Jolly family boys. Jamie or Jim as he was called by his army buddies, is survived by his father Gary Vermeulen (Bernadette Quinn), mother Marlene Vermeulen, brother Todd, and sister Kelly Vermeulen, niece Jacey, and nephew Kieran Vermeulen, maternal grandmother Gladys Coates, and numerous aunts and uncles. Special thanks to hospital and military staff who have demonstrated tremendous support, especially the military located in Drvar, Croatia and Base Personnel in Winnipeg, MB.
