Jim was my father's roommate at Juravinski hospital in May, my Dad passed in June.Jim was good company to my Dad, and so was his daughter Anna,we spent our times together in their room. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Laurie Jakiela,Elise Jakiela and Karen Gubbins Hamilton and Port Dover.

Tomorrow we will lay to rest the best man in the whole world. Grandpa and I spent a lot of time together in the last few months, I will cherish and never forget the fun times we had. You had quite the sense of humor like when you didn't want to listen you would say no speak english. Or when I would call you and angel and you would turn around and tell me you were and angel with black wings. I enjoyed our little animal fights we would have or when you would throw them at me. I love the way you would light up when the great and great grand childern would come up and visit. Our time spent together will also be held in my heart. Till we meet again you been sadly missed and you will always be #1 in my heart. I will always love you till the moon and back. Dont forget to give Nannie a great big hug and kiss for me. xoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoox — feeling a great loss.

Deepest Sympathies to each & every one of our cousins in the loss of your father,grandfather,and Great Gramps. Uncle Jimmy will always hold a special place in all of hearts. Uncle Jimmy's wings were waiting for him as he flew through the Pearly Gates of Heaven. He's probably already organized a bowling team with all of our other angels that have gone before him. When I hear the next roll of Thunder, that will be him knocking down all the pins with one ball.We will never forget you. Love & Hugs Darlene & Bob McBeth

Dear Gramps I must say you were one of a kind. I will always hold your memories in my heart. You were such a caring, kind loving man. I always called you gramps as you were not my grandfather but you were the closest thing I ever had to a grandfather and I will never forget how you took me under your wing and were always there for me and your grandkids. You are an exception man and someone who made us proud to call gramps. May you now put on those dancing shoes we talked about and dance every dance you can with nan. Rest in peace gramps as you will never be forgotten. You are now free to spread your wings and fly and enjoy your next journey in life. I will miss you dearly. xxoo
