I have this photo because you and Sharyn came to my college graduation and took a lot of photos of me. I will see you for a long time more in the photo. Rest in peace my Canadian dad

My condolences to all those affected he will be sadly missed. He was a big support him and Sharon when I was going through hard times and I miss all the times we had coffee, love and peace David Terepocki.

Charles, Sharyn and family, deepest condolences. Sharyn first class. I don't think Jimmy would have imagined anything better!

From what I heard for the short time I was there, best celebration of life anyone had been to,

I'm sure Jimmy was smiling ear to ear. Wish I had done the same for Ron.

p.s...
I'll never forget when Jimmy told me he had met a women that he actually held hands with and it turned out to be you.  He was like a kid in the sand box. I was overjoyed for his happiness.

I was heartbroken to hear about Jim's passing. Please accept my deepest condolences.

I had the privilege of living with Jim and Sharyn for six unforgettable months in 2011 during my exchange program in Vancouver. That time remains one of the most memorable and joyful periods of my life — and so much of that is thanks to Jim and his kind, warm spirit.

Jim had a unique way of making people feel welcome and cared for. I still remember the countless jokes, the laughter we shared, and how generous he always was. I’ll never forget the day I needed a ride downtown and, without hesitation, Jim insisted on driving me — saying he needed to buy coffee anyway, just to make me feel at ease.

I also feel so lucky to have been part of those special family moments — like the baby shower for your granddaughter and the incredible Halloween decorations you both worked on with such love and joy. Every memory I have of Jim is filled with warmth, humor, and kindness.

He left a lasting impression not only on me, but on everyone fortunate enough to know him. His presence will truly be missed, but his spirit will remain alive in all the hearts he touched — including mine.

With love and heartfelt sympathy,
Luka Araujo from Brasil !

Jim and Sharyn's house is the first house in our Co-op.  The first person you'd often see coming in was Jim and on the way out, Jim.  Every time you saw him, he said hello and if you were lucky, he would chat  with you or make a joke, usually in my case about my Father (Jim and my Dad often traded jabs about being let out of the "home",  Jim always  wondering why I let my Dad out  which was followed up with me questioning why Sharyn let Jim out).  In addition to the laughter, Jim was a compassionate soul who in spite of experiencing life's harsh realities, saw the humanity in others.  I respected Jim's honesty,  his willingness to share past struggles,  his genuine kindness, his love of family  and his appreciative  laughter after hearing someone deliver  a spectacular joke.  We will miss you Jim, God speed 💜

Jim will be missed by all.   He and his beautiful wife made the lives of so many from around the world brighter.   We will be forever grateful that they welcomed our don Greg into their home.   Jim took Greg under his wings and showed how to use the transit in Vancouver.   Love and hugs to all.  Love the Porters
