Jim was my first skip in men’s curling at Deer Lodge way back in about 1972-3. It was Jim and three of us junior age guys. Jim was a fantastic skip and so much fun to curl with. He treated us great. He was a funny, fun loving kind guy and I will always have fond memories of that year. Rest in peace Jim and my heartfelt condolences to his family. - Posted by: John Allardyce (Friend) on: Sep 20, 2025
