Jim was a retired carpenter having worked for the C.N. Railway for 34 years. He was a generous man always making his family his first priority. He will be remembered for his kind heart and sense of humor. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family, predeceased by sisters, Helen Comeau, Marie Landers; brothers, Matthew, George, Ernest, Joseph and Bernard. Jimmy is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Florence “Toots” (Frizzell); his only child, Greg whom he adored; his two treasures in life, his grandchildren, Matthew and Jessica.

Grieve not

“Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am the morning hush, I am the graceful rush, of beautiful birds in flight. I am the star shining in the night. I am the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room. I am the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. Uncle Jim, you will be missed. Our condolences to Aunt Florence, Greg and Jessica and Matthew.”
