I was so sad to hear about Uncle Jim. I have such wonderful memories of him from my childhood. He had such a calming and thoughtful presence and so smart!! He was someone I always tried to model my behaviour from. He truly had a significant impact on me even though most exposure was in my child/teen years. I cherish that impact!
Please take care of yourselves and each other! Cherish those “Jim” memories♥️

So very sorry for your loss. We always enjoyed our chats Patty on our walks down Huron Street. May your precious memories be a strength during this most difficult time. Rob also sends his thoughts to Danielle..
Jim and I once had a great adventure when we were very young.
We had gone fishing at the Morrison Dam and were sitting a few feet apart on the river bank with our lines in the water when we heard a rustling sound in the grass behind us. As we both turned to see what it was two large (for us) snakes emerged from the grass. Paying no attention to Jim and me, they quickly slithered between us, entered the water and were gone. They were so close to us we could have easily touched them as they went by. It happened so fast we had no time to react. But it left us in shock for the rest of the day.
Every time I go to the Morrison Dam I think of the day Jim Knox and I had a close encounter there with two large snakes.
Mrs Hughson introduced a new boy into our grade 5 class. It was Jim.
Lifelong friendships are precious and rare. Lifelong wisdom and advice even rarer.
Today Ava and I share greatly in your s
Sadness.
Rest in peace Jim.
Ruth and I are very sorry to hear of Jim Knox,s passing.When we would see him down town,Exeter,he would always be smiling,and would go out of his way to say,”hello”Jim will be very missed.
