Condolence: I worked with Jim for a number of years and he truly was a gentleman. I enjoyed our conversations and always looked forward to sharing a story or two with him. Jim was always positive and smiling anytime we interacted. My condolences to Jim and his family during this difficult time.

Condolence: We havent seen Jim in a couple of years, but his big personality, generosity and light hearted humour are remembered. Jim was fun to be around, on the golf course, and at ensuing steak barbecues. Our thoughts are with Jordan and the Francis family.

Condolence From: Michael Morey
Condolence: I was shocked and saddened to hear about Jim's passing. I'm honoured to have been considered a friend of Jim's for over 40 year. I first met Jim in high school and from there our career paths overlapped each others having worked at the Paper Mill in Glen Miller and then at Warkworth Institution. Jim always greeted me with a smile on his face and when our conversations did not revolve around the good ole days he would often spoke proudly of his family. Jim will greatly be missed and my life has been enriched by having him a part of it. Rest in peace.

Condolence: Ellen, Kathy, Larry and family, my deepest sympathy.
Jim was always cheerful, friendly and welcoming in the short time I knew him.
A brother, son, husband and grandfather taken too soon will be sadly missed.
You are all in my prayers.
