Thank you so much Susan for letting me know of Jim's passing. My sincere condolences to you Angie, and all the family. We didn't see each other that often but your trips to Australia kept us in touch over the 45 years since I left Toronto. How I always enjoyed Jim's opinions especially on our Aussie wines. A big man, with a big heart. My prayers are for Jim and for all the family.

I am very sorry to hear that you have lost Jim Hamlen.  Jim was always a good friend and confidant, he was one of a kind!

I will remember Jim in my nightly prayers.

Uncle Jim will be sadly missed. With deepest sympathy, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Angela, we were saddened to read of Jim's passing. We do certainly remember the two cruise trips that we shared and enjoyed so much with you both and with the Longs. 
Jim certainly had no trouble being the life of the party and setting up a joyful atmosphere.

Our condolences to you and to your family.

Fondly Anne and John Liphardt

Dear Angela: 

Barb and I were very saddened to hear of Jim's death. We knew his health history and have been amazed that with your wonderful support he was able to travel and live such a very full life.

Barb grew up with Jim's dropping in to see Dick and has many memories as a teenager of his continuous teasing. As it happens, Dick is in Ontario near Sarnia at the moment and we have sent him the news.

Angela, we wish the best for you and hope the next few days go as perfectly as you wish.

Barb and Dave Pinkham

Our very deepest condolences to you Angela, as well Greg, Susan and the rest of the family. I have such fond memories of Jim. His smile, his booming voice, and of course that wonderful personality. He made me feel special as a young boy and I will never forget him.

Cathy and I were stunned and very sorry to hear about Jim's passing. We always had a good time with Jim and Greg at the Tenaxol sales meetings and enjoyed our visit with Angela and Jim in Toronto. Our sincerest condolences to all his family.

On behalf of all former employees of Carwithen Associates Inc. I wish Jim peace, and you the family a healing celebration of his life. I enjoyed my time with Jim during his trips to the Baltimore area, and enjoyed seeing all of you there in Markham on my visits to Impact Cases. Peace be with you!
