    Lynn, Courtney and Logan I am so sorry to hear about Jim”s passing. I will always remember seeing Jim out side shoveling the snow off of the Merry Maid cars and keeping salt on the entrance to the building so it will be safe for us girls, he was such a hard worker. May god give you the strength for the days ahead and faith to know he is safe gods hands.

    Jim was always so welcoming. I remember a new years party at your house….Ed and Jim spent the evening watching the juniors hockey game while we partied downstairs. And he loved to chat! After delivering banana bread to his office I would emerge 45 mins later having solved all the problems of the world! He fought a great fight and never gave up. My sympathies to you all. You are in my thoughts.
