Jim was my Uncle. I remember him as a very kind and happy man. He was a great husband to his wife Bev and a wonderful father to his two daughters Jodi and Tracey. I had a lot of fun with him when I was younger. Whether we were playing mini golf or watching action movies together, he was always a joy to be with. I also remember how much he loved his pets. He always had a big smile on his face which tells me he had a great life. My thoughts are with his wife and kids and his extended family and friends. Jim will be missed and remembered with fond memories by all those who had the privilege of knowing him. -Steve Timotijevic

To Bev & the girls Our condolences during these difficult times We will always miss Jim's pleasant personality and his fine sense of humour. Always had smile to boost your day In our 40 plus years of friendship we always enjoyed the Xmas & New Years get togethers and the joint wedding anniversary dinners. Jim always loved Judy's apple pies and a good steak BBQ Will fondly remember the Knights games and our occasional trips to watch the Tigers & Lions in Detroit.
