    I was saddened to learn of Jim’s passing. As a former neighbour kid, I owe my first job at Hudson’s to Jim. I remember him as a kind and compassionate man. My sincere condolences to Jean and family.

    Our sincere condolences to the family, I knew Jim when he was directer of The young people at LGT Family church back in the early ’50’s, as well I worked part time in the Shoe dept. at Hudson’s. Jim always had time to stop and talk with you on the job. He loved serving others and being helpful in so many ways to so many people. May God be with the Family and comfort them, each one.

    Dearest Jean, while the years we’ve had together have been all too few, I cherish the memories that you and Jim gave to me, and will hold them close in my heart forever, Love and deepest sympathies to you and your family in your time of mourning.

    I fondly remember Jim who helped me choose my clothes when he was the manager at Hudson’s
    Jamie and Bonnie made me laugh when I counselled them at school.
    Thank you for the nice memories
