France, I would like to let you know how sorry I'm for your lost.I will miss Jim very much.
I can remember when he tried to teach me how to be a handy man. He thought me how to change a garbage desposal, install an alternator on a mustang and many other thinks. He never mind helping anyone.
I always admired the way he put his family first.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I can remember when he would take time to teach me how to be a handy man. He would always tell me to save your money and change your own oil. Anyway I just wanted to let you guys know that I will keep you in my prayers.

He was the best dad that we ever could have asked for. Always dependable, giving, never judging and always loving. We will truly miss him with all our hearts. I have comfort knowing that one day I will be in his arms again. Mom -we love you very much!

In remebrance of Jim who I was privilleged enough to meet in Australia several years ago and who made Francis and their children so happy.

I remember when I first met Jim, it was when Frances and I were interviewing for a position with Mandarin Christian Church. She was given the position. My husband Jay and I opened the Atrium Cafe at MCC. We were in need of volunteers to help us out on Sunday. We talked Jim into helping us out, he was always there for us and worked many Sundays when we did not have help at the Atrium Cafe. After 3yrs, Jay and I stepped down from running the Atrium Cafe and talked Jim into taking it over. He...

Dear Frances and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing, as I know you will miss him terribly. But God wanted him "home" and as you say, sent angels to call him home. He was a wonderful man, so very attentive to his family and friends, and we will all miss his gracious smile and williness to help anyone, anytime,anywhere. I will keep you in my prayers, and please call if you need anything at all. Love, Peggy

Dear family members,

I live in the Broadview Terrace High Rise Condo. Jim worked for us for several months and was a wonderful person. Always had a smile on his face, eager to help with groceries, packages, etc. Everybody in this building thought the world of him and we were all sad when he decided to quit but because he was looking forward to having more quality time with his family we were happy for him.

Indeed there is sadness among us to hear of his passing....

Dear Frances and Family,
We will all miss Jimmy here at CCJ. He was always going "above and beyond" for us, our clients, and their children. He obviously embodied the spirit of a Good Samaritan. It was an honor working with him. My deepest condolences.

Frances,
We have enjoyed many over the fence talks. We were really saddened to hear of Jims passing. You and the family are in our prayers. Words just don't seem enough at a time like this. May you and the family be at peace knowing that he is with the Lord.
