Dear Jim – How we do miss you! No more funny emails arriving each day, poems or notable anecdotes. You took such pride in your community, your country and fellow man as was evident in your remarks and pictures. A man of simple means with the biggest heart – always trying to help someone out and connect with those you loved. God only takes the good ones Jim. He has picked a real angel. True Joy and Peace is yours for evermore!
Condolence From: Diane Leibold, Dashwood
It was a shock to find Jim’s name as I checked the funeral home site tonight.
I first met Jim while living near Goderich when he brought me a car battery through Freecycle. We had stayed in contact over the years and swaped stories & jokes on-line.
My prayers are with the family.
Jim will be missed!
