Years ago at Camp Courage for grieving children, Jim and friends showed up with their 3 wheelers to give the kids rides. Jim had a real heart for the children and he came several years in a row. The kids loved it! Rest in His peace, Jim.

I only had the privilege of knowing James for a short time, but what a blessing he proved to be! Thank you for sharing him with me. It was an honour to serve as his hospice chaplain. May his memory be eternal!

We knew Jim as Big gramps. He became family to us through our son marrying his granddaughter Janelle. He brought much laughter and love into our lives. You will live on in our hearts Big gramps
