I often think of Jim as he was one of the greatest guys I ever had the honor to know. I spent time as a casual and in a gang on the waterfront with him Went to a chicken auction once with him and his children and learned the ins and outs of how to buy chickens. When I worked with him I knew it was going to be a great day because he made the worst job a joy with his great humour I am glad to say he was my friend.

My condolences to the Taggart family. Some of my best years were spent working with 'Tag' on the waterfront and you couldn't find a harder worker. We had a lot of laughs and I'll always have fond memories of those days.
