Jimmy had a passion for nature. He also loved to fish and was a skilled golfer. He was known for his kind and compassionate spirit, his gentle demeanour, immense love and dedication to his many animals over the years and for his deep love of family. He especially doted on his grandchildren who were his greatest joy. Jim simply loved life! He was sad to leave us, but now he's with his Heavenly Father.
