I just found out now about Jim's death.
I'm sitting in my Jeep, parked by the side of a road in the Irish countryside, tears running down my face. I've known Jim since 1976 when I joined Cansult. He was one of the best men I have ever known, we shared many, many great times together all over the world. I'm looking at the title of our last e mail between us, entitled Hennessy Paradis and other memories. That was the two of us in the George Cinq hotel in Paris circa 1981. That was only one of the many occasions we were together for business, laughter and friendship. I am bereft.
To all the Metcalfe family, I send my wife Sheena, and our two daughters, Vanessa and Seonaid, who knew and loved Jim, our deepest sympathies for your loss. He was a wonderful man, and I will miss him dearly.

Jim and I shared the same early life experiences (Aldershot Crescent, Fairmeadow PS, York Mills Collegiate Institute). We connected much later at York University's Schulich School of Business when he came to speak about work in the Middle East to members of International MBA program. He was all that previous contributors have described and more. My sincere condolences to his family. Jim's death was decidedly premature. Sue Firth

I grieve Jim's passing. I worked with him for thirty plus years, first during our time at Marshall Macklin Monaghan and then at Cansult. His leadership, confidence and vivour encouraged the best from all of us.

My condolences to the Metcalfe Family. I worked along side Jim for many years at MMM and we teamed together with Pat Monaghan to bring the firm out it's doldrums to be one of the leading Engineering Firms in Canada. Jim then left MMM to lead Cansult which at that time was controlled by MMM.

A business and council colleague. A friend - who provided much in the sharing of his wisdom and grace. A man of gentle kindness who will be sadly missed. Sincere condolences to Valerie and the entire Metcalfe family.

A great Professional, Straight Forward and Humble Gentleman. Hard to find all such traits at the same time given his status and achievements in life. I cherish the trust he had on me providing the confidence needed to excel in my career.
Our profession has lost a great leader.
