    Jim was such a wonderful man! I only knew him for a short time but he managed to take a small part of my heart with him when he went to heaven that night. He changed my life and made everyday coming to work enjoyable. I am so grateful that I met him, even if it was only for a small portion of his life.

    Rest in Peace my dear friend. Please watch over me. My condolences to Carolyn, her son and Jim’s family. I’m thinking of you now during this time. xo

    I will miss Jim as a friend, as a hiking buddy and travel companion on extended hiking trips with Novak’s. Jim was always upbeat and ready for the next adventure whether it be on the trails with the Ramblers or just in everyday activities.

    We were saddened to hear of Jim’s death and would like to convey our sincere expressions of sympathy to
    Carolyn and their family.

    We had only met Jim a couple of times since our move into Avian Terrace, but enjoyed each encounter with him and know how well-regarded he was by our neighbours,
    who had known him and Carolyn for many years.

    A donation has been made in Jim’s name to the Alzheimer’s Society.

    I am so sorry for your and our loss.
    I met Jim through the TVTA and hike many miles with him.
    Jim was always a positive, happy fellow, always ready to help and guide us all.
    He is missed on the trails and we all remember how he could name the tree, flowers & birds.
    So now, when I walk through the woods, I will look up through the branches and see Jim’s smiling face looking down and remember the good times.
    Rest in Peace my friend
