Celebration of James' life will be held on Monday, April 16, 2012 in the Wheeler Funeral Chapel, 211 Regent Avenue West at 1:00 p.m. A thousand times we needed you. A thousand times we cried. If Love alone could have saved you, You never would have died; A heart of gold stopped beating. Two twinkling eyes closed to rest. God broke the mold, our hearts, to prove He only takes the best. Never a day goes by that you're not in our hearts and souls. Funeral Arrangements In Care Of WHEELER FUNERAL HOME CEMETERY CREMATORIUM 1800 DAY STREET 224-1525

I GOT TO KNOW JIM AT THE WELLNESS CENTRE AS OUR LOCKERS WERE IN THE SAME AREA. HE ALWAYS USED TO BE AFTER ME FOR COMING IN BETWEEN 8 AND 9 AND SAID I ONLY PUT IN A 1/4 OF A DAY. HAD SOME GOOD LAUGHS ABOUT THAT. I ONLY RETURNED TO WELLNESS TODAY FROM WINTER VACATION AND SAW THAT HE PASSED AWAY ON THE BULLETIN BOARD AND AM SORRY I MISSED THE CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE. WILL MISS MY PARTNER GIVING ME ACTION ABOUT MY 1/4 DAYS. KNOW HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY HIS FAMILY WHO HE SPOKE ABOUT OFTEN. REMEMBER THE JOY HE BROUGHT TO OUR LIVES AND HOPE IT HELPS IN YOUR MISSING HIM. - Posted by: Cleo Hutmacher (WELNESS FRIEND) on: Apr 18, 2012
