I was so sad to hear of Jim's passing this past week. He was a good guy. In spite of his 'gruff' exterior, to me he was a man of conviction, consideration, generosity and humour. My best memory of him is when he and I accompanied our family on a cruise to 'somewhere' in the US; we both had great fun. Jim had an amazing/unnerving ability to locate us on-board that massive ship, whether we were dining, on the sun decks or in the back of a bar! On one excursion in Seattle, Jim, Mike and I went to the R 'n R Hall of Fame. At Mike's insistence, we all picked up guitars or drums and performed a loud song that Mike picked. Haha! Can you see Jim in your mind? He was having a great time making a video and having his picture taken for posterity. I am sure he glowed all day! Since that day, Jim and I had a mutual appreciation of each other and a find relationship. I will miss him. Heartfelt Condolences to Gord and Brenda and Michael. Love you all, JANE ELENOR
