I’m heartbroken Jim, absolutely heartbroken that you transitioned to the spirit world so soon after retirement 💔

Even though you returned to your hometown after retiring, you promised you’d be back.

You were a dear friend to me and my my mom and dad, a part of our family since moving to town in ’84, at the young age of 25.

I loved our visits, chatting about the goings on in town and strolling down memory lane. Your memory was amazing!!

Norman Wells experienced a loss when you retired but this is just devastating.

My deepest and sincerest sympathies to Jim’s family and loved ones. He was one of a kind and we were blessed he spent 37 years in Norman Wells 💛

You always had a smile Jim, and a kind and generous heart. Mahsi for always letting me be #1.

You were taken to soon, and will forever be loved and missed.

Rest in peace, until we meet again 🌺

This is so hard to believe. He truly deserved a longer retirement. He was already missed by many in Norman Wells. I had a nick name for him Jim “Beebooparoo”. It was just the way it was. Forever at peace ❤️ soar high Jim

I only knew you for a very short time, I found you to be the kindest of souls with a gentle manor about you. You had such a life to look forward to, the sadness is with those who cannot spend that time with you. Rest dear Jim, knowing that you were loved and those who loved you will miss you all their living lives until you meet again. God bless.
