Hi Doug:

Good to bump into you yesterday. Thanks for reminding me about the cigar smoking!!

My funny memory of your Dad was his smoking very cheap House of Lord cigars at work.

Premier Packaging's office was a open-plan layout. There were no walls and I had the pleasure of my desk being adjacent to your Father's. I had to endure breathing the second-hand smoke of those horrible & cheap Stogies. The acrid smoke were permeating the whole office and all my clothes.

One time, I presented (half-seriously & half-jokingly) to him a month's worth of dry-cleaning bills

Upon receiving the bills, he looked at me and sarcastically said Deal with it!!!!

The following day, I gathered all the fans from my home and the office and aimed it at his desk. I was waiting for the moment when he would light up his stogie!l  He lit it up.I proceeded to turn on the fans.all his papers went flying all over the place. With an annoyed and piss-off look, your Dad looked at me and asked What the hell are you doing????

I replied that he told me to deal with it, so am dealing with it.

We both had a very long day at work that day

God Bless you, Uncle Jimmy!!!!!   Now go smoke a ham!!!!

Regards,

Bob

We were so sorry to hear about your dad.  It's all very fine to say how lucky you all were to have him in your lives until he turned 95, but the loss of a parent is devastating no matter the age.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help out.

Dear Cheryl and Doug:

Uncle Jim brought us all great joy with his beautiful roses at the Esquimalt house, his love for photography and his family.

I remember going to your house for sleepovers and he shared his gardening tips while we played in the backyard.

What a wonderful way to honor your Dad by being present with him as he transitioned to Heaven.  He was fortunate to live a long and full life.

May you and your families be comforted by the sweet memories of Uncle Jim.

Bless you all at this time.

Dear Cheryl and Doug
We are so saddened to hear that your Dad has passed away, a magnificent 95 years and just shy of his 96th ... Uncle Jim remains in our hearts as one of the most special people we have been privileged to know.  

We always said your parents were the ideal that we would want to be at any age ~ so stylish and the personification of quiet sophistication, in everything they did.  And always on topic! 
   
We know that you will be taking good care of your Mom, we hope Aunty Marge is being sheltered in the best way possible.  Your parents will continue to share their soulmate energy, that we have no doubt.

Sending you and your families our love and condolences.

Steve & Sandi XO

Oh Cheryl, I'm so sorry to hear this. I feel for you & your family, especially your mom. How is she? I know, last year when I saw her, she was OK but not grasping everything. Your mom & dad were like salt & pepper. I can't imagine not seeing them together anymore. 

Please pass on my condolences to Doug & his family as well. My thoughts will be with you all.

I am so very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing.  I still remember all the times we saw your Dad either at your house or at Miramar that he was never but so very kind to my family and I.   I know he will be so very missed by you but he has earned his rest now, after a long, wonderful life lived.  The memories you have of him will live on forever with you and your family.

Take care Cheryl.

If there's anything I can do, please just let me know.

Love,

Cheryl and family, our deepest condolences. I liked your Dad; he had a ready smile, and I could tell, was an honourable and hard working man.  It is so sad to be losing those in our parents' generation. They went through so much, and with strong, quiet determination made a better life for their families and community.
