Cherish the memories you have of Jim as he was one of a kind!

Jim was one of those good old boys. My Mom and Dad thought the world of Jim and he called my Dad “black boy” maybe not politically correct but Mom & Dad spent many years in Mexico, Acapulco. Dad always had an amazing tan so that’s where the term came from. Jim did backhoe work for them too. Please know you are all in our families thoughts. Sending condolences! 🥰

Jay Sherwin - May 19, 2026

To Dorothy, Peter, and Diane: I am saddened to read of the passing of Jim, a great neighbour for 60 years. It is hard to believe he was 90 because he always seemed so young and able and skilled with equipment. An example of that skill being the work he did with his backhoe just a few years ago, in his late 80s helping us cleanup our property after severe windstorm damage. Competent, kind, humble…a great neighbour. Please accept my sympathies. Jay Sherwin
