Jim was so generous to Doug and I before and after we moved to the Thousand Islands. Letting us use his home while we waited on ours to be ready. Going out of his way every time family came to visit from Alberta. My mother adored Jim. Thank you Jim.

I met Jim some time ago, when he invited me down to his cottage in Gananoque. I remember his generosity and wit and always enjoyed talks with him. Back then I signed Jim up as a “Pleasure Craft Operator Card” examiner. I remember his delight in being able train people and issue this card to all that would request it! I also remember Jim’s knowledge and collection of Art. He will be missed by many.

We got acquainted with Jim and Phil during FGIF happy hours at a local watering hole here in Palm Springs. He humor was infectious. When COVID struck, our happy hour moved Friday Zoom sessions. This provided a wonderful venue to really get to know Jim. We were able to appreciate more fully the self-deprecating nature of his wit. In the more serious moments, he was very well-informed, empathetic to all, and insightful. He will be missed.

Jim called us last Monday and we talked, laughed and reminisced for over an hour. We will always be grateful to have had that last conversation with him and we will treasure it forever. Everyone that knew Jim, knew he was a special guy and very generous.
As his former travel agent, I saw firsthand how generous he was. Throughout the 90's, if a friend or acquaintance of of Jim's was terminally ill and financially unable to see their family or a close friend one last time, Jim would pay for it. Most times, they never knew who their benefactor was.
Marilyn and I met Jim and Miles when they first arrived in Toronto, some 35 years ago and became friends instantly. That friendship has only grown as the years have gone by and we are especially pleased that Jim and Philip were our witnesses when we got married.
Our hearts are broken, but our memories are many.
Our deepest condolences.

Jim was such a ray of sunshine. His hearty laugh, spunk and joy made everyone happy. He was one of a kind. As a business connection at Trimark, he always had the answer or found out the necessary information. I am happy to have known him and send my sincere condolences on his sudden and very sad death.
