Lorraine and boys - thank you for sharing this wonderful man. Many mornings I remember heading off to golf with Jim and you (Lorraine) and I would chat over the phone. He was very special to me and I will miss him immensely. He always smiled. He always was true to his word. And he was always there for everyone. I will especially miss him on the 12th hole. Not sure why but I will look for him there always. May he now rest in peace. Love him - Susan and Nick

Dear Ferguson family.
I am so sorry to hear about Jim. He was a wonderful man. He always had a smile on his face even when he was worrying about the Legion's affairs. An indifatigable worker and President of the Orléans Légion, he had many friends. His work and stewardship was valued by the members and our community at large. He will be missed by all . I will never forget his sense of humour and his commitment, dedication and passion for leading by example and doing what was right. Thank you for sharing Jim with us. May God bless him and your family in your time of need.
