It is with sorrow that we heard of Jim's passing. Although he has not been active with Toronto Olympic Club in Toronto, he recently represented the Club at several Masters' races. We have fond memories of Jim, who was one of the initial members of the Club in 1954 & represented it on many occasions. He was a leader with the training group & his performances reflected that - he will be missed.
Paul (Head Coach) and Lorraine Poce, Toronto Olympic Club
