Hard to believe my good buddy has been gone this long ... but great memories always endure the test of time.

Though his smile is gone forever, and his hand I cannot touch.
I still have many memories of the one I loved so much.
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part.
God has you in His keeping. I have you in my heart.
Sadly missed, but never forgotten.

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that, too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.

We miss you everyday and everyday we wish you could be here to see how your family has blossomed.
Thank you Dad,
we love you so much.

Heavy are our hearts today,
Memory brings you back once more
To the time when you were with us,
To the happy days of yore.

Always in our hearts.

You will always be missed Uncle Jamie! Xo

It is hard to believe that six years have passed since we lost you, so much has happened, but you are in my thoughts every day. I will always love you.
Beth xoxo

Thinking about you today Jamie. Will remember you always.

I can't believe 5 years have passed. Jamie you were the age I am now
I always remember how tall you were when you came to visit us in Newfoundland when you were in your teens. I hope all your loved ones have found peace in the wonderful memories that you have provided for them and take comfort in the fact you were a great friend, dad, and son to them all........Val Hodder ( Uncle Dave's daughter)

Happy Birthday Jamie. Love you. :)

Miss you Jamie. Think of you often.

Love, Lisa

Wow 4 years really goes by fast.
I remember when we went to Myrtle Beach in my TR7.
We stopped and visited your uncle Donny in Washington D C on the way, and the crazy horse saloon. Man we had some great times. Miss you bud.

Dear Jim-

A lot has happened since you've been gone. There are two beautiful granddaughters now, and life is unfolding with love mixed with all its beauty and complexity. I'm sure you know all this, and more, much more.
~Sidney

Softly the leaves of memory fall. Gently I gather and treasure them all. Unseen, unheard you are always near, so missed, so loved, so very dear. No longer in our lives to share. But in our hearts you’re always there. 

RIP Jim, we miss you and love you.

I miss you Dad. Life is getting pretty hard without your guidance and support. I promise to make you proud. I love you. Xoxo

Happy Birthday Jimmy

Miss you bud

Thinking of you on this day Jim!
Happy Birthday!

Thank you for all the kind words and thoughts on this tough day. My dad will forever be in my heart and is the guiding light to get through each day. I cannot quite fathom that it has already been two years. I miss him when I am sad, I miss him when I am lonely but I miss him most of all when I am happy.

Steeley, Taylor, Hunter & Family
Our thoughts are with you today and hoping that the memories you have bring you much comfort! Gone and not forgotten!

This quote was sent to me and has brought me much comfort today and I would like to share it with all of you that are struggling with your sorrow.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran

Time goes by way to fast these days, I'm sure "Jamie" will be greatly missed on the canoe trip this year. My thoughts are with you Beth, Steeley, Taylor, and Hunter.

Hard to believe how fast the years pass. I still tell stories about Jim! My best to Beth, Hunter, Taylor and Steeley on this sad day.

Remembering you and missing you on yet another Birthday.

I wish I had a photo of you Jim to share for the 51st anniversary of your birth. You are still sadly missed, especially when I think of what could have been, which is quite often. Happy Birthday my friend and no more gimmees to God. Your Pal Brad.

Remembering you on this day, gone but not forgotten!

It's hard to believe its been a year since we lost Jim.
I still expect his weekly phone calls with his uplifting humour to brighten the day.However my memory of Jim does keep putting a smile on my face.

It is hard to believe that a year has passed. We had many talks, usually when outside doing yard work. Even now I keep thinking that Jim will come across the street to talk about fishing, golf, or more serious matters. He is greatly missed.

Gone but not from our thoughts! May God bless and keep you!

Bill O'Neil

Wow it's been a year already,I really miss you old friend. I think of you often and usually have a good laugh you big homo.

I never forget Jim, I just forget that he's gone. I keep thinking to give him a call, and then it hits me. Unbelievable. Very sad.

Today is a time to reflect and remember the wonderful times we spent with Jim, his heartfelt laugh, his zest for life and the care and love he showed to those special to him. He will always remain a beautiful memory in my heart.

I still have trouble believing Jim is not around. He was a new friend but we had already started making memories. I was looking forward to making more because Jim is someone who comes along rarely in one's life. I miss you Jim. God Bless Beth.

Dear Beth
It was a pleasure knowing Jim  watching the wonderful energy between you two. He truly made the world a better place.
