There are a lot of nice people in the world and there´s a lot of good people but every now and then a great person comes into your world and Jim was a great person intelligent and a great leader.He helped me transfer from 740 in nfld to 56 Halifax and I am forever greatful that he did that for me I loved the man and looked up to him.My sincere condolences to his family.He will be forever remembered in my heart.

Greg and Christina: so very sad to learn of your Dad’s oassing.
Please accept my deepest condolences.

Dear Christen and family, please accept my deapest condolences on the passing of your father and a very dear friend of mine. Jim and I have been friends for at least 50 years unfortunately living so far a part we couldn't participate in the many things that we would have liked?
Jim was a passionate member of the United Association and you wouldn't want to the one that told him that unions were not good for society.
In all the years that I participated with him in negotiations he never lost site of why were there and it was for betterment of the members and you would be hard pressed to convince him other wise. Was he stubborn not a bit he just thought that he was right and that was the end of the conversation.
When the members of UA Local 56 named the Union Hall in his name I believe that's just about highest complement you could have gave ever him.
May he rest in peace.
UA Brother,
Gerald (Gerry) Bentley

My deepest sympathies to Geg, Christina and family. I have many fond memories of Jim. In earlier times I had the pleasure of accompanying him on several rabbit hunting trips which took us all over the province. My wife Sheila and I spent many evenings in the last 50 years with Maureen and Jim playing cards and enjoying a drink or two. I would like to share a quote from an author whose name escapes me right now.
TO LIVE IN THE HEARTS OF THE ONES YOU LEAVE BEHIND IS NOT TO DIE.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends. Jim was a well respected member and Business Manager of UA Local 56. He will be truly missed by many. He accomplished a lot for The Local.

He had a nice way of helping me make personal improvements for example at the cottage in Porters lake one Sunday he noticed I was getting a beer belly so he walked up to me poked his finger in my belly and said. " you better let some air out of that ". I laughed but took his advice
Cut down on beer and started exercising

I no longer have a beer belly nor any weight or health issues at 74

Thanks Pal I also pass on the favour to others who don´t take it as a favour

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I have many fond memories of Jim on our fishing and ATV trips. Pictures of Jim in the Hawke River in Northern Labrador where Jim , Harry, and I spent a week landing salmon every day ! Jim was happiest with a pair of waders on, fly rod in hand standing in a river. My deepest condolences to the family.
