Dear Cousin Lila and family. I am so very very sorry for your loss. I did not realize Jim shared the same birthday as my beloved daughter Jennifer. Always a family connection eh. My heart goes out to you dear cousin - on this extremely heart wrenching day. Wish I could be there for you today. I will be singing tonight in Ottawa - with my chorus - and when we sing Leonard Cohen's song 'Hallelujah' - which is about the pure love and joy of music - I shall dedicate it to Jim. Peace and Blessings girl. You are loved. xox

Jim you will be dearly missed! I have such fond memories of you from when I was a girl! I recall spending many a hour perched upon your knee...... Learning to play (cheat at) cards! Always a big smooch on the cheek & a hug! The stories! The laughter! The candy! May you rest well dear Jim! I know you'll be joking with my mom up there, she always held your family dear to her heart......... XO

I never had the privilege of meeting Jim, but Lila and I knew each other when we were children in Ontario. I understood how much Jim meant to my cousin, Lila, and how loved he was by all of his family and friends. His memory will live on as long as there is someone alive to tell his stories or play his music. You brought smiles to many people, Jim, and even to me via video, enjoying your harmonica playing.

He will always be with you all of your days until you are meant to be together again. You will know that he is very happy , knowing that he can watch over every one of his family members at any time.

So very sorry for your loss Lila and family. Jim was a great guy. I always enjoyed his visits to the Union Hall. He would come in with that "happy face" of his and have a joke or two for me. He also shared many work storiies . Later on I would often see him sitting in his car outside of Zellers waiting for you to get off work. He would always have a joke or something to chat about. He will be missed. Hugs to everyone.

I will always remember the big smile and how his face would light up each time we went to visit him. His never ending jokes and stories were so much of who he was. He enjoyed company and loved to go out for coffee with his friends. He especially loved his family time and his love for Lila was never ending. She was the light of his life and was there for him through all his tough times. They were a match made in Heaven and Jim will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Aunt Lila & family,
We are so saddened to hear of Uncle Jim's passing. We always enjoyed when you would come home to Ontario for a visit. Uncle Jim always had many jokes to share with us. I always wondered how he could remember so many jokes. He always knew how to make us laugh.
"When you lose someone you love, you gain an angel you know"
Thinking of you all at this difficult time
Love,
Dan, Diana & family
