My sincere condolences to Jim's family. Jim and I were friends for 15 years. He talked often of his mom and his brother and sister and of course his beautiful nieces. He certainly enjoyed when you came to visit during the summer.  Jim was a wonderful man with a good heart. I will miss him.

It is with great sadness and shock that I read of Jim's passing.

I have many good memories of him although I hadn't seen him in many years.  Just last week I was looking through my Arizona photos and thinking of him.

My sympathies go out to you Hilda, Gary and Susan and your families.

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the Zillinsky family and friends of Jim.
I met him many years ago at a variety of dances.  He was a very kind and good-natured gentleman and will be missed.
God bless you, Jim.

My condolences to the Zillinsky family. I met Jim in University & he is one of the most interesting and kindest persons I have met. He was also a superb teacher and could clarify the most obscure subjects

With great sadness I have received Jim's passing.
Jim and I met at Kati's dance, years ago, but we always saw each other during the different group dances.
Jim was a gentleman.
My deepest condolences to his  family.
Jim rest in peace and I know you will continue dancing!

Dear Gary,

My sincere sympathies at this very difficult time.

Thinking of you

To the family and friends of Jim, I offer my deepest and sincere condolences.  

Jim, and I met again in October this year along with jim H from Calgary after a much too long separation. We had almost been inseperable during our University Years at Carleton U with many get togethers in the cave at McMahon, among many other adventures.

Unfortunately, after university we went our own way. Just recently we were reunited. In early October this year, both Jim's and I renewed the old friendship and despite the years, it felt as though we took up where we had left off, but with a whole lot of life behind us. I was looking forward to many more get togethers with Jim. 

As I offered to Jim's mom, if I can be of help in any way, I will do my best to do so.

I have not seen Jim's family in several years now but always felt welcome in your midst. My heart goes out to you all at his so untimely passing. Marsha Permut
