I had the privilege of being married to Jim’s sister Carol until she passed and many times we visited with Jim and Jessie. We visited together more often when they lived in Gander and we in Grand Falls-Windsor. We also enjoyed a great visit with them in Winker, Manitoba and when we came home to St. John’s. I appreciated Jim’s quiet and gentle spirit and his dry sense of humor. I will always hold fond memories of my brother-in-law.
Jessie, hold on to the many memories. We will meet Jim again at the coming of our Lord.
My wife Martha as well as Craig and Susan give you our condolences and assure you of our prayers.

From: Dom Wilkins, Winnipeg, Manitoba
