Growing up my favorite place was in the back of the butcher shop listening to the men talk while Jim cut the meat at the old butcher block.The occasional alley cat and stray dog would never leave the side door hungry. The sawdust and fresh meat was a wonderful smell to my young nose.Jim was such a nice man.Good memories of the Ferguson family.

Dear Dorothy and family,

I was very saddened to hear about Jim. It was an honour to work with Jim at the Fire Department and I have fond memories. I will miss his kindness and laughter. I am thinking of you all at this sad time.

To Dot and family - We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Although we only met a few times at Charlie & Edie's, we certainly recall Jim's crazy sense of humour and the laughter we'd hear between old friends. It was always an interesting visit when Jim and you were there as well with cheerful moments we will never forget. Our condolences to you and your family.
