I'm really gonna miss you. I've know you my entire life. You and my Dad, always having fun, and getting into trouble. You were the one that told me I could fix my own car. Thank you, that was the best thing anyone could say to young girl. It became my goal with every vehicle I've owned. It was just 2 weeks ago we were talking about cars, and telling stories. I was hoping we all were gonna go out to camp, for Canada Day. It won't be the same with out you. Your never gonna be forgotten by me. Love you Uncle Jimmy. - Posted by: Shayna (Friend) on: Jun 27, 2014

When I first met jimmy I was 15 years old. I met him through my now wife and father-in-law. Melvin and shayna. Little did I no he even fished and hunted with my uncle. Everyone new jimmy could tell a fish story like no other, and in every tail there was truth. Just like the day the fishing was so good the fish were jumping in the boat. Well they were!!! Jimmy just left out the part were the dynomight was encouraging them. I quickly found out jimmy was loved and respected by many. But never new how much till I was 16 years old. My girlfriend shayna had blown a piston in her Toyota tercel. Jimmy said bring it down kid I'll teach you a thing or two. He showed me how to rip apart an engine and rebuild it in two days. What a mechanic. The first day he had me going none stop. Later that night jimmy and dicky got hungry. You all no hard work watching someone else work. So they figured they would send me for dinner and supply's. We'll I was the young pup and they already had enough wobbly pops. They drew me a map gave me a blank cheque three smokes and a car ( standard ) never drove a standard plus it's winter. So I put it in his dad's ditch. They were not happy but jimmy and dicky still laughed. So after I was pulled out I was sent on my way. Map and cheque in hand. The task was carton of smokes, bottle of rye, bucket of chicken wedges and gravy. Oh ya don't forget the ketchup!!!!!! Finally found the store and placed our order. She says going to be twenty min makin fresh chicken and wedges. So I go for a smoke. Orders ready and packed to go. How you paying son she says? I reply cheque. She says read the sign no cheques !!! Cash or card. Sorry miss no cash or cards only cheque. She replys do you no how expensive that chicken is who's going to by it? Sorry miss all uncle jimmy gave me was a cheque. She replys jimmy hlady? Give me that cheque it's gold!!! Should of said that earlier sweetheart. Tell Jim I say hi. And over the years I found out just not there jimmy was known everywhere. We'll jimmy I no by now piss cat has woke you up with his little nose. The sun is shinning, the wood is chopped, the grass is cut and the bottle never empties. There is more deer then you have ever seen and the friends never go home!! We love you uncle jimmy! You will always be remembered and story's live forever. You will always and forever be missed. P.s. Piggy gets the couch. - Posted by: Jay and shayna (Uncle jimmy. ) on: Jun 26, 2014
