Jim was a gentle man who was always quick to help family and friends whenever he could. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and we will miss him dearly.
The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Royal Columbian Hospital, and the staff and volunteers at Crossroads Hospice for their kindness and care during Jim's final days.

We especially want to express our gratitude to Andrew and Patty Chan for their friendship, medical assistance and for the countless appointments they drove Jim to over many years. We cannot thank you enough.
