Condolences
So sorry to hear about the passing of Jim. I recall many fond memories of our time growing up together on Brigden Sd Rd. Keeping Jean, Andrea, Bill, Colleen and Jim’s family in my thoughts at this difficult time. I am sure he and his Dad are together catching lots of fish.

Condolences to Colleen and the entire Family. I remember the high school years the most with lots of laughs and Jim’s famous line for me was “ speak to me Denny “. I spoke to Jim on off over the years and fishing was a a topic of discussion. My sincere condolences to all Jim’s family. One of the good guys I knew.

Jim was a friend I met at St Clair SS. We did some partying through our Highschool years even camped out with a few others where we built a teepee! Many years after that our friendship continued to grow as we worked together in London Ontario doing restoration work for London Caulking. We have a lot of unforgettable times of laughter of his great humour at the work place. I’m privileged to have spent time with Bo even in the last couple years as we did get to reminiscing often! I love ya Bo take care my friend.
