He later got his commission as a Manitoba Land Surveyor, becoming a partner, and then sole owner, of Wilson and Neal. In recognition of his exceptional contributions to the field, he was elevated to Life Membership in 2000.
Jim was involved in various organizations, including the Masons, Scottish Rite, DeMolay, the Royal Order of Scotland, and St. Marks Lutheran Church, where he embraced their values and contributed to their missions.
Jim will be remembered for his professionalism, dedication, quick wit, and great sense of humour. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
