    I guess Jim won’t ask me to help stack wood anymore when I come to visit. Rest in peace Jim. Your hard work is done.

    Condolences to Jimmie’s family. We grew up together as kids in Bridgetown N.S.
    All the kids in the area had great times playing hockey in the winter on the Park and in the summer playing baseball.
    Jimmie was well liked by his school mates. All my family remember Jimmie and liked him very much.

    So sorry for your loss Jim was my favorite Uncle. He and Aunt Helen had me babysit for them when I moved up to Toronto. He always call me a pet name( Jaws) because he said I talked a lot. I will miss him dearly and love him always. R.I.P.<3
