My deepest condolences on Jim's passing. I got to know Jim when he ran the District Cribbage. One time, I had forgotten my membership card at home. Jim allowed my husband to fax a copy of it to the Branch. He said, "It's a good thing I like you."💕 I am so glad that I got to see Jim within the last 2 years. - Posted by: Karen Maxwell (Friend) on: Feb 10, 2025

Condolences on the passing of Jim. I know him from curling at the Base and the Ft. Gary Legion. My late partner, Henri Lafreniere, and I always had a good laugh with Jim. When I fell on the ice one time Jim kindly went to the hospital with me. He also came to Henri’s Celebration of Life in 2016. Rest in Peace Jim with Eileen. - Posted by: Shelagh Morrow (Friend) on: Feb 03, 2025
