    Janice and Family:
    We were at the service this afternoon but didn&&single&&t have a chance to talk with you and express our deep sympathy. It must help a little to see how many people were touched by your special husband, dad and grandpa. I think Jim would have heartily approved of his “send off”.

    Not sure what words to use to describe our relationship over many years but there was never a dull moment when in your company. So many times we laughed until tears rolled down our cheeks. You loved life and were blessed with an awesome wife and family. Gerry has lost his golf/fishing teacher.

    Janice and family I am saddened to know Jim has passed away but happy to know that he will be at peace. I have so many memories of Jim when he was with us on the farm many years ago and watched as you and Jim raised a wonderful family that Jim was so proud of. Our kids still think of him as Mr.Jim !! Some of my best memories have been on the golf course the past couple of years. I just bet he has a tee time already booked and the clubs ready. I have a doctor appointment in London on the 18th but if I am home in time I will see you and if not I will be in touch. Love and Hugs to you all. Gladys
