To the friends and family of Jamie,

Stand easy my friend.

I know you will sadly be missed, it was a pleasure knowing you although so many years has passed from our teenage friendship, from the boys at the K-Mart parking lot, Robbie Moulaison, Paul Sweeney, Miles Pitman, Robert Grey (Bobbie) Curtis Summers.

We knew Jamie for 15 years,he was a good soldier,a great and generous father, who loved his boys with his whole heart. the light of his love will continue to burn in all those who knew him. please pray for Jessica, Joshua, Jordan , Blake and Jamie's family.

I am so sorry to hear of Jamie's passing.  I have many good memories of him going back to days in 3 RCHA that always bring a smile to my face.  I am sure everyone who knew him smiles when he comes to mind, which is a fine legacy indeed.  Stand Easy friend.

To Jamie's Family, I had the good fortune to have the chance to train with Jamie almost every week while he was in Ontario. Although I didn't know him for long, he had an uncanny way of making you feel as if you had known him forever, always ready with a smile and willing to share his knowledge of karate. I will have many great memories of the time we spent together. I was deeply saddened by his loss but at the same time feel a tremendous sense of gratitude for his wonderful gift of friendship.
Keep practising those katas my friend, someday we will do them together again

My condolences to Jamie's family. I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure to work with Jamie. An outstanding man, who lived by his convictions. He will be missed.

I hope he will be remembered for how he lived his life.

To Cheryl and Family,

I was lucky enough to see Jamie and spend some time with him just recently in Halifax at the karate clinic. He was so happy to be home in Halifax. It brought a smile to my face to spend that time with an old friend. But that was typical of Jamie - always warm and caring.

We both will miss Jamie. Please accept our deepest condolences,

From Jonathan and Orasa Webber

My deepest condolences to Jamies family. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I had the pleasure of knowing him through our common love for karate. I didn't realize until he brought the subject up one class that I was one of his original guest instructors from the original Yarmouth days when he was a teenager. R.I.P. my friend. You will be remembered.

Dear Sylvia and family,

 It was with great sadness and shock that I learned of your passing this weekend at the 36 BDE Exercise.  You were always a stellar soldier and a professional.   You were always welcomed in The West Novies mess.  R.I.P.

I would like to offer my condolences on Jamie's passing. From a long time back at YCMHS in the karate club, I have many good memories of those times. Some of the images in the gallery make it seems only yesterday. 

I am saddened by his passing.
