    One of the best neighbours a family could ask for. We were so fortunate to have the Hebb family as part of the neighbourhood growing up. It’s been an honour knowing and working with the Hebb clan for so long. I said hello to Mr Hebb a long time ago, he told me to call him Jim, I said ok Mr Hebb. That was the neighbourhood. We all had a great deal of respect for our friends we called neighbours :-).

    It was an honour to have known Jimmy, a true gentleman and wonderful, kind and caring person always willing to share a story and his wisdom. He will be forever missed.

    Jim and Dorothy were such wonderful additions to the “Pinewood” family, very supportive of their neighbours who became friends.
    As a teenager, I was “the babysitter”. As an adult, Jim graciously drove me to work and regaled me with tales of the pool installation.
    Jim and Dorothy proudly showed Jeff and I the modifications to their home and shared their knowledge. They were very proud of their boys and their families. My mom especially enjoyed seeing the grandchildren in their costumes on Halloween as they came down to trick or treat.
    To you three boys and your families, our deepest condolences. We’ve all lost a “good one” here, but you especially.
    Our sympathy and caring thoughts are with you.
