One of the best guys I have ever known. Miss you, Jimmy.
I am truly heartbroken to hear of Jim’s passing. In twenty years of working in long term care I have had the honour of caring for many, many people, but very few have made as positive and significant an impact as Jim. He was always good for a laugh and a smile, and his razor sharp wit was as good as it gets. He was a bright spot in even the most stressful days. I’ll always think of him when I hear a Phil Collins song.
Thank you, Kristina. You words brought tears to my eyes. He really was one of a kind.
We are so sorry to hear of Jimmy’s passing. His humor at work made was something I looked forward to. Always had something smart to say about any given situation. Our condolences to all of you, friends and family. Jemal and Theresa
Jemal, he always talked about how much fun he had with you at work. He respected you. Thank you for your kind words. We miss him.
