I am so very sad to hear of Jim’s passing - he was our backyard neighbour for over 20 years. I am going to miss waving at him every time he drove past on the street, and will miss our chats over the fence. My thoughts are with Barb and his kids and grandkids, and Heidi.

Jim gave me a great start to my career as s dispatcher snd manager. Shall forever be remembered as Captain Concrete. We basically lived together in a 10 X 10’ glass cage dispatching Concrete for many years. He came across very serious however once I got him laughing it was contagious, he had a wonderful sense of humour. Jim stated when he hired me the reason was he saw himself when he 1st stared out in the work world. Forever great full Jim. RIP and God Bless you and your family !
