To the family of Jim, please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of a true Gentleman. I was familiar with his rail photography since I discovered it in 1986 and years later reached out to him for assistance when I started my first book. He was so helpful to me in that first project and again with my second. Most recently, we had talked about my fourth and he was always so passionate and enthusiastic. Above all else, he was kind. I was blessed to finally meet him in person when I was on a conference in Toronto in 2015. He travelled down from Tottenham and we had a most wonderful afternoon at a British Pub with a meal of fish and chips. We discussed everything from trains to family and his love for both really shone through. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Know also that he left a mark on all of us. God Bless you Jim and thank you for all your help. I was honored that he permitted me to use one of his best Newfoundland shots from 1967 for the cover of my book. The Station in the Sky just became a whole lot richer and the Saints are showing him to his first class seat with his beloved wife Anne again by his side.
