We will all miss his sage advice and direct, no nonsense approach to life. Jim was a successful businessman and his proud legacy was to be able to provide his family members with comfortable lives. We all thank Dr. Michael Shepherd of Kelowna, B.C. for his "white coat" visits and his concern for Jim and Kay's quality of life and for the extra years of life that his care gave to Jim and his family. Jim was a simple man when considering ceremony. He will be cremated and a private family Service will be held. In lieu of flowers or donations we know Jim would ask you to celebrate his life and to do something to make your loved ones lives better. Arrangements have been entrusted to FIRST MEMORIAL FUNERAL SERVICES. Rest in Peace, Dad (11/28/1997).
