Not sure what to say?

Yes, I will remember Jim with a smile on his face always. My condolences are with you all. He was such a dynamic part of your family and the St. Bernard's family I knew as my kids were growing up.
Since I do not get the paper anymore, I just read this on line. Sorry I'm so late.

MY DEAR BUGBEE FAMILY, MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO YOU ALL. IT WAS NOT ONLY A PRIVILEGE, BUT ALWAYS A PLEASURE, AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN BEING AROUND THE BUGBEE FAMILY. TRIPS TO THE PETROLIA CABIN FOR YEARS, GROWING UP WITH THE KIDS, PLAYING BALL WITH THE BOYS, AND WITNESSING THE GROWTH OF THE FAMILIES. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD FOND MEMORIES. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT TIMES, SOMETHING JIM ALWAYS ENCOURAGED. LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!

I am so sorry for the loss of Jim. My condolences to all of the Bugbee family. I have so many fond memories from my childhood spent with the Bugbee family

Marie and Family ~ Good times at the Bugbee's in Petrolia will be remembered and cherished. I always told Jim he was so lucky to be married to Marie since she was from the Martin Family. Fond memories of the good tines far out-shadow the sorrows felt today.....Look back and recall a fun story or practical joke Jim relayed to you, and the tears will soon be replaced by a smile or laugh. Thanks Jim for taking good care of one of our Martins!

The Bugbees have always treated friends of family like family as well.. a few Easter's spent in the laundry room tending bar and the only drink offered was a 7&7. I think of Grandpa Bugbee every time Easter rolls around and he wasn't even my grandpa... thanks Jason for introducing me to your grandpa...your grandparents are special people.

So very sorry for your loss. My Doug loved your family.
Sincerely
Jinx Phillips

Marie and Family, I am so sorry for your, and our loss, the first memory that comes to mind of Jim is the "night" he took myself, brother and sisters to the Petolia Cemetery, we didnt sleep a wink that night.
God Bless you and your Family.
