Very sad to hear of Jim’s passing. He was instrumental in the early days of my career giving valuable advice as he sat at my kitchen table and helped me map out my business growth. I loved his random phone calls to check in and give me an update and the adventures that he and Josee had been on.
Jim will be missed by many. Our heartfelt condolences to Josee and the rest of the family

Kae and I had the opportunity to chat with Jim and Josee last Sunday even got a couple of smiles from Jim although he was very tired. Jim had a lot of knowledge and a knack to fix pretty well anything. Josee and Jim spent time at the RV park in Fort Langley not far from our home. That is until the unpredictable BC weather got them to go way south to a warmer climate where they mad many friends. We loved them both and will miss Jim. Now Josee will continue her life journey with her family and we will her well. Love Claude and Kae Lemay
Kae and I had the opportunity to chat with Jim and Josee last Sunday. It was an effort for him but got a couple of smiles. Jim and Josee spent time in Fort Langley with their RV until they realized BC weather can be unpredictable resulting in their travel to the southern states where they made many friends. A man of many talents and a knack of fixing things. Jim will be greatly missed. Josee, we love you as you continue your life journey with Michelle, Darren and grand children.
Jim was always a good time. I’ve known and loved him since 1998.
So sorry, Joseé.
Please remember that the pain that you feel is directly proportional to the love that you shared.
Thinking of you all
