Jim was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He was a friend to many and loved by all who knew him. Special thanks to his thoughtful neighbours who helped him over the past few years.
A Mason all his working life, Jim could put his hand to anything and was never afraid of hard work. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, gardening, fishing, berry picking and sharing stories with his neighbours.

To the Sullivan family, my deepest sympathy for the passing of your dad. I have fond memories of he and my dad standing on the sidewalk having a grand chat. Usually with snow shovels! Our family grew up across the street ‘on the corner’. My thoughts are with you.

Herb and the Sullivan Family,
We want to send our sincere condolences to you on the loss of a loved one of many years. It was always a pleasure to have a chat with “Jimmy” when we met and to seize the opportunity to talk about the good old times in Pouch Cove. He was so amazing, even in his twilight years. God love him.
Most sincerely: Eugene & Shirley
To the Sullivan family.
My sincere condolences on the passing of Jimmy , may his gentle soul Rest In Peace .
Our thoughts are with all of you. Uncle Jim and Aunt Jean were regulars at Nan’s/Aunt Ruby’s, especially on special occasions, holidays and Sundays. He loved to go trouting and berry picking.. He and Uncle Wilf would come over to look for worms on the hill behind the old house. Or go blueberry/partridge berry picking across the road. Uncle Jim may be gone but he is not forgotten.
Wendy and family – We are so sorry for your loss . Please accept our deepest condolences

So sorry to hear about Uncle Jim’s passing. It was not that long ago that we dropped in to visit him and had a grand old chat. He was a bit upset that he couldn’t get around and do all the things he used to do. After all, he was only 92 years old! He was a very special man with a great sense of humour. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all , but your memories of him will keep him alive in your hearts forever.. Love, Marilyn and Bill
