We met Jim and Carol through HOPE and enjoyed visits and coffee at Tim Hortons. Volunteered with Jim at church activities. He was gentle, funny and a true man of character. He is in his eternal home and at peace.

I was introduced to Jim, by his wife Carol at Hope church. I attended many church services with them both, and some social times we had gotten together. Jim always had a welcoming heart, smile, and a wonderful sense of humor. A very Godly man, a good man. The Lord is welcoming him home. I am thankful for his friendship while he was with us. Blessings and prayers to Carol and the family.

Jim and I were best friends for a major portion of our time at the University of Rochester. Roommate's at Delta Upsilon Fraternity and cohorts in many activities on and off the Campus!
I assure you they were "the best of times" Te', as he was knicknamed; was known and loved by ALL on Campus!
MAY God bless him and hold him in the palm of his hand, UNTIL CAROL, THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE; JOINS HIM.
