Thanks for giving us this opportunity to honour Jim's life Sharon. He was a quiet leader in our co-op, respected and well-liked by all.

As one of the founders of the co-op, Jim's memory will live on at Spring Ridge as a guy who believed community and secure housing to be critical components of a good life. And, more remarkably, he went on to work hard to make that a reality for so many families here in the past, present, and those yet to come in the future.

I'm glad that his pain is finally over on this earth, but will always miss his affable smile and kind words.

Rest in peace Jimmy.
