If there is one thing that I learned from Jamie it would be to enjoy your life, it is short. Do whatever it is that makes you happy. Keep a smile on your face and laugh whenever you can. I am sorry I can't attend but I send my love to Carol, Bryden & Caylen. You will be missed Jamie!

Jamie was a hardworking, honorable and loving man with a quick wit and infectious smile. He was always ready with a joke or two...and his jokes were good! Laughter was never far with Jamie around. Just one of those genuinely upstanding guys you dont encounter every day...who truly seemed to love life. As a long time friend of Carol's I have always deeply admired and respected Jamie as a person, and especially as a husband and father. He definately left his mark in this world and I am absolutely heartbroken for his family and closest friends. May you be at peace Jamie. You were one of the good ones.

Worked together since 1983, and always looked forward to a good retirement.
As for most, working life gets to be a habit, and a standard of a need for further involvement. Jamie had the crave to be a part of that participation, and ongoing involvement within the railway.
Through this nature of his personality, and our joint working relations, great strides for improvement and progress have been made.
Jamie's ability to recognize an opportunity for the better, was matched with few to none in his line of work, all awhile always standing by all those beside him loyally.
I consider myself fortunate to have known Jamie, and for being able to mutually grow in many ways while working at CN.

I was so sorry to hear the news of Jamie's passing. We worked together many times in the early years of our careers at CN and he always brought a smile to my face with his sense of humour and general outlook on life. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Sadly I am unable to attend Jamie's celebration of life but be assured he will be remembered fondly. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sadness.
