Condolences to Aunt Linda and family on the loss of Uncle James. 

Hello Linda
My sincere sympathy to you and your family regarding Jim's passing.   My memories of Jim go way back to the 1960's, in the old neighbourhood of Preston and Larch Streets, and of course discussing investments in the later years.  Take care.
Chris

My favourite memory of Jim was a few years ago. I had gone to visit my brother- Scott and his wife Susan, who is one of Jim's and Linda's daughters.
Jim and Linda happened to be visiting at the same time, having come in their new car.  
We all sat in the living room and chatted for some time catching up on events and funny kid stories since our last gathering.
Then I remember asking how they liked the new car.  
Suddenly, I got a flurry of wide eyes and hand signals from knowing parties frantically warning me to abort the topic. 
It was a moment too late, when I realized that I sealed my fate by asking another question about the car.
Soon enough the two of us we were outside and standing beside the car.
Needless to say Jim was very thorough in describing the exterior features, the interior amenities, general engine specifications and each bell and every whistle.
I remain quite impressed with his excitement and vast knowledge of the vehicle. My own knowledge about cars is, I'd say fair. But, I definitely couldn't talk about one for an hour without repeating information ten times over.
Nevertheless, an hour later we were pulling back into the driveway.
Apparently, I had signed up for the driving tour somewhere in the conversation.  And as an added bonus.......I also received a complimentary drive-by tour of some of the properties for sale in the neighbourhood.  For a laugh, I regret not having tipped him.
I have to admit, it was a bunch of fun and I really quite enjoyed myself. 


I have always enjoyed Jim's enthusiasm, humour, intelligence and his passion for his car, which could only be shadowed by his obvious love for his family and especially his grandkids.  
He will be greatly missed.  
Lisa and I are so sorry for your loss and share in your sorrow.

Sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. Our DEEPEST SYMPATHY. Helen and Bill Stone

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing.  Jim was  a friend and colleague who helped mentor me in my early days in the advertising department of the  Herald. I always looked forward to seeing him at our annual  reunions in December.

Linda, Kathy, Susan and family, 
I am sitting here reading the obituary of Jim.
Have known him from my days coming to Bridgeview and to Swan Crescent with  my dad  delivering produce to the Lowther household.   In later years Jim became one of my regular customers in sports  memorabilia and I enjoyed our talks on the next prospect with the Moosehead's or the one to make a splash in the NHL. 
Take care and remember all those great moments as I know that there are many. Jim was just that  guy.

I was saddened to read of Jim’s sudden passing. I worked with Jim at the Chronicle Herald. I have fond memories of Jim sharing his daughters many accomplishments  and how very proud he was of his girls. In later years I looked forward to seeing him at The Herald retiree Christmas luncheon. My condolences to the Lowther family. May he rest in piece.

My sincere condolences to the family. 
Had the honor of working with Jim at The Herald for many years.
I had many conversations with Jim over those years on many topics but inevitably he would  express his pride and love for his family.
He was a genuinely good man with a caring disposition. 
I was honored to know him  and he will be missed. 😣

We are so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Ray, Jan and family.

Pete and I are sending sympathy to you and your family,Linda,on hearing the news of Jim’s passing. We basically only talked to Jim from across the fence when we visited with Donna and Harold on Swan Cres. Kind of like “Wilson”on the Tim Allan show. He was always glad to see us and interested in our “goings on”. Cherish the good times and the memories will keep him always with you. Virtual hugs. Sadie and Pete

It was deepest sadness that we learned of Jim's passing away. He was the 1st person to greet me when we moved into the neighbourhood. Jim took pride in everything he did and will be missed by family and friends.

Many years ago, one labour day weekend, when you came to our cottage we had lots of wood that needed to be put underneath. It wasn’t exactly what we wanted to be doing but Jim made it fun for us. We lined up in a row and passed the wood along from person to person and he made up a song.  Before we knew it the job was done and we’d all had fun. When you grow up living next door to one another there are many memories but this one has always stood out to me. Thinking of you all and sending heartfelt sympathy for your loss. 
Sara
